Token File

A Token file is an XML file that is required for most ODIS software to run. The token file must be located in the application directory and match the name shown in the file with an .exe.config extension.

Unless used for Analysis only, a Token file is matched to the A/D board serial number, and can only be used in a system with that A/D board.

Analysis Only tokens can be used on Post-Processing setups but cannot be used on a full ODIS system.

Token files are provided by OKOS: please contact [OKOS Solutions LLC] to get a Token file or update an existing file.

Automatically Installing a Token file

The installer will prompt the user for a path to the Token file to use. If installing a new version of the software, select the file from the previously installed version. Otherwise, select the directory where you put the Token file that was provided to you.

Manually installing a Token file

To manually update or change a Token file, do the following:

1. Shut down the running ODIS software program..
2. Copy the Token file to the directory where your installation resides, e.g. "C:\OKOS\ODIS_3_19_60-64"
3. In the same directory, open the file with the extension ".exe.config" with a text editor.
   • Example 1: For ODIS-NDT systems, this file will be named "ODIS-NDT.exe.config".
   • Example 2: For ODIS-IC systems, this file will be named "ODIS-3.exe.config".
4. towards the bottom of the file, there will be an "appSettings" section which should contain an entry like this:

 <appSettings>
   ... 
   ...
   <add key="TokenFile" value="ODIS_IC.xml" />
   ...
   ...
 </appSettings>

5. Add or modify the "TokenFile" key so the the value of the entry matches the name of your Token file, e.g.:

 <appSettings>
   ... 
   ...
   <add key="TokenFile" value="VUE400OKOS#500101-9930023-Warn20220115-Exp20220131.xml" />
   ... 
   ...
 </appSettings>

6. Save the file
7. Restart the software.
