Dongle and license requirements for Color Profiler Suite

Using Color Profiler Suite’s full functionality requires a spectrophotometer that has an activated license connected to the computer that has the software. (The spectrophotometer serves as a dongle.)

You can use any of the following instruments to license Color Profiler Suite:

EFI ES-2000 (included with Color Profiler Suite)
EFI ES-5000
EFI ES-1000
X-Rite i1 iSis
Barbieri Spectropad
Barbieri Spectro LFP
Barbieri Spectro Swing
Konica Minolta FD-5BT

Note: Contact your EFI representative for more information about the EFI ES-5000 or the Konica Minolta FD-5BT.

An activated spectrophotometer license is valid for that spectrophotometer only, and you can use only that spectrophotometer with that license.

If you connect the spectrophotometer before starting Color Profiler Suite for the first time, Color Profiler Suite automatically downloads and installs the license when the application starts.

Note: If Color Profiler Suite cannot connect to the Internet, see Download a Color Profiler Suite license.

If you connect a spectrophotometer that is unlicensed, you must activate the license.

If no spectrophotometer is connected, or you do not want to activate the license, you can run in Demo mode.
