Autodata 345 The Hardware Information Does Not Match With Your Dongle — Repack
. Because repack versions use emulators to mimic physical Sentinel USB dongles, the license must be specifically generated for your machine's hardware profile. Why the Error Happens Hardware Changes:
If you updated your RAM, motherboard, or processor after installation, the UID changes, making the old license invalid. Incorrect License Generation:
The license was likely generated for a different PC or with the wrong bit-architecture (32-bit vs. 64-bit). Emulator Failure:
The Sentinel dongle emulator is either not running or blocked by security software. How to Fix the Hardware Mismatch 1. Regenerate Your Hardware ID (UID)
To fix the mismatch, you must re-sync the license with your current hardware. Navigate to your Autodata installation folder (usually Open the folder named getuid.exe (for 32-bit) or getuid64.exe (for 64-bit) as Administrator
A window will appear with an 8 or 10-digit code. This is your PC's specific hardware signature. 2. Update the Registry License Use your new UID to generate a new registry ( Replace haspvlib
) file (this usually requires the specific keygen or service provided with your repack). Double-click the new registry file and select to import the settings into your Windows registry. 3. Re-initialize the Sentinel Emulator folder in your installation directory. green traffic light icon (Start Emulator) and run it as Administrator Check your Device Manager
; under "Universal Serial Bus controllers," you should see "Sentinel USB Key" or "SafeNet USB Key" without any warning symbols. 4. Adjust Regional Settings
If the software still fails to launch, Autodata often requires your system locale to be set correctly. Control Panel Region and Language Set your Format to English (United States) Quick Troubleshooting Checklist Run as Admin: Every component (installer, UID tool, and emulator)
be run by right-clicking and selecting "Run as Administrator". Disable Antivirus:
Real-time protection often deletes the emulator files during installation. Windows Test Mode: blocked by antivirus
Repacks often require Windows to be in "Test Mode" to allow unsigned emulator drivers. If you don't see "Test Mode" in the bottom right of your desktop, the drivers will not load.

Step 3: Copy Correct DLLs to Autodata Folder
- Replace
haspvlib.dll,hasp_rt.dll,hardlock.sysin the software installation directory. - Do not mix files from different repacks.
Error Description
When launching the AutoData application, the user receives the following error message:
“The hardware information does not match with your dongle. Repack.”
After clicking OK, the software either closes immediately or reverts to a limited/demo mode. The software does not recognize the dongle as valid for the installed copy.
3. Troubleshooting and Resolution Steps
Potential Solutions
-
Reinstall Drivers and Software: Ensure that you have the latest drivers for your dongle installed and that AutoData 3.45 is properly installed. Sometimes, a clean reinstall can resolve these issues. or mismatched with the AutoData version
-
Check for Updates: Look for any updates to AutoData 3.45 and the dongle's firmware. The software developers or the dongle manufacturer might have released patches to address compatibility issues.
-
Verify Dongle Compatibility: Ensure that your dongle is compatible with AutoData 3.45. If it's a repack, it might not be officially supported.
-
Disable Any Emulation: If your dongle repack involves any form of emulation or spoofing to mimic another device, ensure it's properly configured and not causing the mismatch.
-
Contact Support: Reach out to the support forums, the software developers, or the dongle provider. They might have specific advice or patches for dongle and software compatibility issues.
Common Causes
- Incompatible or Corrupted Emulator – The software repack includes a specific dongle emulator (e.g., based on HASP or Sentinel drivers). If the emulator is not properly installed, blocked by antivirus, or mismatched with the AutoData version, this error appears.
- System Hardware Changes – Some cracked versions lock the license to elements like the hard disk serial number or motherboard ID. Changing hardware, switching USB ports, or updating drivers can break the match.
- Conflicting Security Software – Antivirus or anti-malware tools may quarantine or block the emulator’s background process, preventing it from feeding the correct hardware data to AutoData.
- Windows Driver Signature Enforcement – Modern Windows versions (10/11) require digitally signed drivers. Many dongle emulators use unsigned kernel-mode drivers, which are blocked unless test mode is enabled.
