Dongle and license requirements for Fiery Color Profiler Suite

Using the full functionality of Fiery Color Profiler Suite requires a spectrophotometer that has an activated license connected to the computer that has the software. The spectrophotometer, such as the ES-3000, serves as a dongle or a software license may be required.

For a list of supported spectrophotometers, go to https://www.fiery.com/spectro.

The following table describes additional information for specific measurement instruments.

Measurement instrument	Notes
Fiery ES-3000	The Fiery ES-3000 is included with Fiery Color Profiler Suite. The serial number is a 7-digit number on the Fiery ES-3000 cradle and is also the serial number on the Fiery ES-3000 instrument.
Fiery ES-6000	Contact your Fiery representative for more information about the Fiery ES-6000.
TECHKON SpectroDens	If you are using a Windows computer, you must also download and install the latest driver from the Download Center in Application Software and Tools > TECHKON SpectroDens > All v2.0.0.8 (https://product-redirect.fiery.com/TECHKONSpectroDensDriver).
Ricoh Color Adjuster	When using the Ricoh Auto Color Adjuster, do one of the following: Associate the Ricoh Auto Color Adjuster with a Fiery Color Profiler Suite software-only license, and the measurement instrument serves as a dongle. Connect a licensed measurement instrument, such as the ES-3000, to a computer with the Fiery Color Profiler Suite software installed, and then connect to the Ricoh Auto Color Adjuster to use it as a measurement instrument only. Note: The Fiery Color Profiler Suite license must be installed on a computer different from the one where the Ricoh Auto Color Adjuster application is installed.

An activated spectrophotometer license is valid for that spectrophotometer only; any other supported spectrophotometer may be used for measuring into Fiery Color Profiler Suite provided that the licensed spectrophotometer is also connected to the computer on which Fiery Color Profiler Suite is running. Some inline measurement instruments are supported by the Fiery Color Profiler Suite certificate-based licensing.

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

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

If you connect a spectrophotometer that is unlicensed, you must activate the license. (See Activate a Fiery Color Profiler Suite license).

If a spectrophotometer is not connected, or you do not want to activate the license, you can run in Demo mode.
