USB Key Driver Installation

Overview

Note: Fathom 14, Arrow 11, Impulse 11, and xStream 4 are the last versions that will be compatible with USB Keys. Future versions (summer 2026) will require using an eLicense or offline activation certificate for air-gapped systems. Research is being done to develop a Local License Server offering which would replace the functionality of Network USB Keys. USB Keys will continue to function on past versions of the software.

USB license hardware keys require drivers from the vendor to work and interact with our applications. The drivers are packaged with a copy protection setup available on our website:

1. Download the AFTCopyProtectionSetup.exe installer: https://www.aft.com/support/usb-key-support
