BioExplorer

BioExplorer is a legacy software system that many practitioners continue to use despite cessation of support from its creator. The following information is for those users.

Getting Started

You can install BioExplorer onto as many computers as you’d like.  Whichever computer has the dongle/hasp key plugged in will work.

Tip for preserving the dongle key:  There is a very simple solution–or better, prevention–to this problem. Don’t plug the dongle key into your computer!  Get a powered USB hub for $10 or $15.  Plug your dongle key into that. Then plug your amplifier into it.  If you are using a USB battery charger, plug that into the hub.  Your whole system uses ONE USB port.

Several other benefits:  when you move from one computer to another, the whole thing goes together–dongles, chargers, etc.; it’s difficult to lose that whole chunk of stuff (whereas dongle keys by themselves are easy to lose; and, because you aren’t plugging and unplugging the dongle key over and over, it doesn’t break! Even if you bump your computer on a desk edge, which broke one of mine when it was in a laptop, the dongle key stays fine.
