    Buy it. It't been a LONG time but I think it's a dongle. I've never seen a Fiery with one.
    Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

        You put the cd in and did the update right? Did you leave the dongle plugged in?

        **edit**
        Found this in the data base,
        " A dongle is required for to enable the feature before using this CD. Insert the dongle prior to selecting the update option from the CD menu. "

              Is the dongle new, or did you get a used one from somewhere?

              The dongle can only be used once, as I recall.

              Used ones are normally useless on most models. (It's been a loooong time since I've worked with an S300, as well.)

                  The dongle comes with an install CD, and printed installation instructions.

                  Put the dongle on. boot from the CD, and follow the directions on screen.

                      Try reinstalling system software.

                        Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is your are missing a patch or an update or something.
                        Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

                          Is there any chance to get a copy of this CD? Just want to know what exactly this CD does. As far as I know, the required software is already part of the Fiery System Software ... so I'm wondering why you need this CD at all

                            There is HASP dongle, and installation CD - during Fiery option installation process you have to put a dongle into USB (or LPT in legacy Fiery's) port, then you have to boot fiery from install CD.
                            A program on CD checks:
                            - if this is a Fiery at all
                            - if this is a proper Fiery
                            - currently installed options
                            - if a dongle is installed
                            - if this is a valid dongle
                            - if option related to dongle is not yet installed
                            Then asks you if you want to enable option, and if you accept, makes proper modifications in BIOS.


                            I did it already... everything you thought about...

                              Interesting details, thanks for that!

                              One thing remains unclear to me: What to do if you have a headless (non-FACI) Fiery? Can you start the update process remotely?
