The error message "The hardware information does not match with your dongle" in Autodata 3.45 (specifically portable versions) typically occurs because the software's security emulator cannot find the correct hardware ID (UID) or registration entries in the Windows registry. Common Fixes for Autodata 3.45 Dongle Errors

If you are encountering this error, follow these troubleshooting steps to re-sync the software with your system's hardware information:

Run as Administrator: Ensure you are running the AutoData.exe or the portable launcher with administrative privileges. Right-click the file and select Run as Administrator.

Update Registry Entries: Most portable versions include .reg files (e.g., regsettingsWin7.reg or AuDaS032). Double-click these files and agree to merge them into your registry to provide the software with the expected "dongle" information. Use the Keygen/License Generator:

Find the GetUid utility in your installation folder. Run it as administrator to generate an 8-digit hardware code.

Open the License.bat or License_example.bat file in Notepad.

Replace the placeholder code with your unique 8-digit UID and save the file.

Run the updated .bat file to generate a new license_Autodata.reg file, then double-click that new registry file to install it.

Install Sentinel Drivers: The software often relies on Sentinel Key emulators. If these are missing or blocked by antivirus, you may see a "Sentinel Key not found" or hardware mismatch error. Ensure the Sentinel System Driver is installed and the emulator service is running.

Disable Antivirus: Antivirus programs frequently flag the dongle emulator (the "crack") as a false positive, deleting the very files needed to bypass the hardware check. Check your quarantine folder for deleted files related to nodongle.biz or AuDaC0. Why This Happens

Portable versions of Autodata 3.45 use a virtual dongle to trick the software into thinking a physical security key is plugged into your PC. This error means the "virtual" key information stored in your registry does not match the hardware signature of your current computer.

Advanced actions

  • Use the vendor’s provided diagnostic utility (if available) to read dongle hardware info and compare values reported to those expected by Autodata.
  • If you have access to logs, examine Autodata license or error logs for hardware ID strings and mismatch details.
  • In cases of suspected firmware corruption, vendor may offer firmware re-flash or replacement—do not attempt third-party firmware tools.

Scenario C: Corrupted Dongle Data (Less Common)

Viruses, improper ejection of the USB drive, or file system errors can corrupt the hidden activation files on the portable dongle. In this case, the dongle might have lost its stored hardware information entirely or have garbled data.

Scenario D: Using a Cracked, Cloned, or Incompatible Version

This is a sensitive but necessary point. Many "portable" versions of Autodata 345 circulating online are cracked or repackaged. These versions often use a software emulator (virtual dongle) or a deliberately mismatched hardware lock file. Error 345 in this context indicates that the crack is defective, the emulator driver is not loaded, or you have mixed files from different crack teams.

Solution 1: Install the Dongle Driver Manually

The portable version typically includes a driver folder that must be installed manually, as the portable executable often fails to do this automatically on newer versions of Windows.

  1. Open the folder where you have your Autodata 3.45 portable files.
  2. Look for a folder named Driver, USB-Emulator, or Hasp.
  3. Inside that folder, look for an application named Install.bat, install.cmd, or Setup.exe.
  4. Right-click this file and select "Run as Administrator".
  5. Wait for the installation to finish (it usually opens a black command prompt window and closes quickly).
  6. Restart your computer.
  7. Try running Autodata 3.45 again.
