Federalized Laptops without Cameras and WiFi
Open full view...Categories: Knowledgebase
Some military and government facilities will not allow the use of laptops with cameras and wifi. You can buy what are called "federalized" PC's from Dell or HP. You must configure them without the camera and wifi.

They also restrict the use of USB thumb drives. Because the MillMax dongle looks like a thumb drive we can supply a version of MillMax that uses a virtual dongle. When you receive the no-dongle install zip file do the following:
Unzip the folder (do not unzip the files in the folder) and click on the EXE as Admin. Use the default settings.
When you click on “Install MillMax” you will get this site license pop-up. Screen cap it and send it to us so we can generate the site license code and get it back to you. This will be good for one week.
The other alternative is to use MillMax without a dongle for data collection only. Generate the dashboards offsite with the dongle and return to the secured facility.
