SECURITY KEY To run this Release of PowerStation, you must have a valid ETAP security key installed on your computer.

If you receive such a message, contact OTI for an appropriately formatted key. The PowerStation setup program adds the following files and registry entries to your computer to detect the security key: Windows NT/2000/XP Files: The setup.exe program will add two files to your SYSTEM\DRIVERS directory, they are: 1. DS1410D.SYS which is neccessary for PowerStation to read the Security Key. 2. DOWNTVDD.DLL which is neccessary for 16 bit applications (ETAP DOS & PowerPlot) to read the Security Key.
