Exchanging USB or parallel hardware key

There is no charge for a broken or non-working hardware key.
There is $50 fee, plus shipping charge to replace a parallel key with a USB key.

You need to send the old key to us via FedEx/UPS (with tracking number), and then we will send the new key. It might take a couple of days all together. If you can't afford to be without a key for that period, we can do the following.

1. We will send you a USB time key - it will be programmed to run for 7 days.

2. The day that you receive the time key, verify that it is working, and send the old key to us via UPS or FedEx so it is trackable.

3. Upon receiving your old key, we will send you the new key.

4. The day you receive the new USB key, verify that it is working, and send the time key to us via UPS or FedEx.

Sorry for all the steps, but we have had problems with other customers, and therefore must follow the above procedure.
