3.21. Cannot find security block?

I have a dongle version of EstiMate and I am getting an error that says' cannot find security block, demonstration period has expired' what do I do?

The best option is to upgrade your software to a NON dongle version. Info on the EstiMate website. www.pricingmadeeasy.com

However, the instructions below are for reference:

To address this error you will need to re-install the rainbow drivers that allow EstiMate to see the dongle.

To reinstall the rainbow driver:
1. Place the EstiMate CD in the CD-Rom Drive.
2. If an installation wizard comes up press exit.
3. Double Click on My Computer
4. Double Click on the CD rom drive icon
5. Double Click on the rainbow folder
6. Double Click on setup.exe to urn the driver program.
7. Once completed, exit out of the rainbow folder, the cd rom drive icon and exit out of my computer.
8. Reboot the computer
9. Run EstiMate.
10. If the error still persists please call 888-304-3300 so we can assist you further at the technical support desk.

We have implemented a new security mechanism which does not require use of a dongle.
Please contact us for further information if you would like to switch to this new system.
