How to Update the PeakTrace USB Key Time

May 13, 2024 By Daniel

The PeakTrace USB Key contains an independent clock that must be kept in alignment with the system time of your computer. Normally this clock remains accurate for many months, but after a license or firmware upgrade it may need to be updated. The process to do this is simple:

1. Open the CodeMeter Control Center from the Windows Start menu (search for “CodeMeter Control Center”). Please make sure that the USB Key supplied by Nucleics is plugged into your computer. This computer must have internet access. If the computer doesn’t have internet access then you can move the USB key to a computer with access (and CodeMeter installed) and do the time update on that computer. The updated time will be retained when you move the USB key back to the original computer.

2. Click on the Process menu option.

3. Click on Update Time Certificates.

CodeMeter message confirming all time certificates were updated successfully

4. Once the USB clock has been updated successfully, the window above will appear.

Linux & Windows command line

From the command line (Linux and Windows) you can also use the following command to update the time:

cmu --time-update
