Upgrading from Time limited to Dongle
Once you have Successfully installed a time limited license you may for whatever reason want to migrate/upgrade to a dongle license. Follow these steps to be successful:
Step1
Purchase the dongle from here: http://www.esimgames.com/?page_id=1361
You will be emailed a licese for the dongle and sent the physical dongle by post (arrives approx 5-7 days to europe). The license in the email is for the dongle and must be transfered to it. So wait til you get the dongle. The license will be sent via "sales@esimgames.com"

The yellow boxes show the important sections on the above image.
1. Choose your container: This is your dongle. It should default to the dongle on your system. You may have to change it here if you have more than 1 CodeMeter dongles on your system.
2. Activate Licenses. This transfers the license to the dongle. A message will appear telling you that it is updating and to wait (approx 10 seconds). It will tell you when it's completed. You are now done. Dongle ready to use.
3. Offline Activation is only for... you guessed it activating offline.
If you have trouble activating your license, please visit the following help thread in the user forum:

CodeMeter Control Center

The CodeMeter Control Center can be opened and will display the following. You may not have as many licenses as the image. Here the top license is the one we installed on the dongle and the blue orb to its left indicates it is active.
To summarise
If you installed a "Time limited license" and the programm ran correctly then all you have to do is insert the dongle and activate the license. Once the license is on the dongle it will stay on it.
