NOTE: The bioplexdata.mdb file is not compatible with versions of Bio-Plex
Manager earlier than 4.0. If you have an earlier version of the software,
installing 4.0 or later will copy the data from your existing database file
(bioplex.mdb) into the new database. A copy of your old database will remain
in the application folder.
Luminex LXR Directory and Files
A directory called Luminex is automatically created in the Program Files folder
on your computer during installation. Inside this folder is a folder called LXR
that contains various applications for monitoring and communicating with the
array reader and platform. A Windows service called LXService is also
installed and started. This service enables automatic communication with the
instrument when you open Bio-Plex Manager.
Hardware Protection Key (HASP Key)
A hardware protection key, also known as a HASP key, is required to run
Bio-Plex Manager. The HASP key determines the license (Instrument Control,
Desktop, or Network) and the edition (Standard or Security) of your Bio-Plex
Manager. A complete list of HASP key part numbers and the software versions
they enable is in the Bio-Plex Manager 6.1 Software Upgrade and
Configuration Guide.
Instrument Control or Desktop HASP keys must be attached to a USB port on
the computer running the software. Network HASP keys must be attached to
a USB port on the network file server computer.
The HASP key has a driver that is automatically installed when you install Bio-
Plex Manager.
Uninstalling
To uninstall Bio-Plex Manager from your computer, use the Windows Add/
Remove Programs function. Click the Windows Start button, select Settings,
select Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs, and follow the
instructions for removing the program.
