content: SOLDThis is a "For Sale" for those serious about thermal imaging using a decent FLIR camera.FLIR produce an advanced thermal image analysis and camera control software called ResearchIR 4. I am offering the more expensive ResearchIR MAX 4 USB HASP Dongle Licence that allows a user to have multiple installations of the software on different computers and you just move the hardware HASP dongle to the computer you wish to use. Very convenient. This is a PRO software tool.http://www.sjelectronics.co.uk/experience-flir-research-ir-softwareThe ResearchIR 4 software is available to download as a short trial for those wishing to check its compatibility with their hardware.https://www.flir.co.uk/products/researchir/I am selling a brand new still sealed HASP licence Dongle that normally retails at truly scary prices. My price is less than that of the far inferior FLIR TOOLS+ ! These are uncommon, especially in the HASP hardware version. It is a current software intended for the professional user but equally useful to hobbyists.The price ? £250 plus postage. I am offering this licence on this forum to allow EEVBlog members first option on it. I might be willing to discuss the price but I will need to recover my investment and first person offering and paying the full price, gets it. I will ship Worldwide at buyers cost using a tracked service.It is rare for me to sell anything so do take advantage of this offer if you need such software as I may not do so again.The pictures are of a new sealed licence package plus my licence HASP dongle. You will receive a sealed, unused, package. These are genuine ResearchIR HASP Dongle licences from FLIR.FraserUKSOLD

content: Best thing to do is download the demo and see if the software meets your need. It is a professional software product. FLIR provide dtails of its capabilities and the manual may be downloaded. It will work with an E4 within the limits of that series, such as <9fps. Check out the FLIR web site for more informationI regret I cannot hold this software licence as I want to recover my investment in it asap.Fraser

I have filled out the link info but am waiting for the software link and now I have to go out.Can I just get maybe 4 hours. If it works or you know that it works then I am good and will pay tonight. Just message me payment details.Trev

content: Trev,I will hold one of the two licences for you until tomorrow Midnight. I would rather you tested it and made sure it works with your E4. The software will not reverse your E4 upgrade.Kind RegardsFraser

content: Trev,I have been checking and ResearchIR documentation definitely does not state that tgecEx series are supported. I remember connecting my E4 to it but I would suspect that not all functions are functional. That has been my past experience with FLIR. If a camera is not 100% supported, it does not appear in the camera list. Sorry it is not better news. TOOLS+ would likely be FLIR's intended analysis program for the Ex series as it has less functionality.I thought it could all be to do with the streaming modes but later E4's have greater capabilities in that area. Do they have to be activated in the hidden menu though ?I ran ResearchIR MAX 4 with my E40 (E60+) and it is a very nice program. You can even setup a PC centric NUC table ! Very nice analysis tool and I can see why it is intended for Research use with all its measurement options. I use the earlier Researcher 2001 in my lab due to the older camera generations I use. ResearchIR is certainly a step up from Researcher.Still a very expensive program but that is pretty common with any specialist Industrial software.Fraser

content: HiManage to get the trial and it sees the E4 but it fails to connect to it. It seems the software just does not support the E4- E8 range.Gutted!Thanks for holding on, Fraser. Appreciated but seems I just cant use the software.Trev

content: Well one of the licence dongles is now on its way to its new home.I think the buyer got a good deal..... I see someone is trying to sell a used licence Dongle for ResearchIR 4 on eBay for £1800+ . Another sold for $3000 a while back. It turns out that the hardware dongle is highly desirable as FLIR have now moved to a on-line activation per PC model which is far less user friendly and reliant on FLIR servers for activation. The USB HASP version requires no such Internet connectivity to workI suspect FLIR prefer the on line activation model as there is no HASP hardware cost and the activation cannot be sold as easily as the HASP Dongle.I hope the ResearchIR MAX 4 Dongle serves its new master wellFraser

content: I recovered the cost of my ResearchIR MAX 4 Dongle so I am happy.I doubt there are many people with deep enough pockets to pay over £1000 for such a licence. More likely to be companies etc and they tend not to shop on eBay or forumsFraser
