Autodata 345 The Hardware Information Does Not Match With Your Dongle Free Page
To resolve the error, follow these logical steps:
Step 1: Verify physical dongle presence and health
Step 2: Reinstall dongle drivers
Step 3: Check for hardware ID changes
Step 4: Remove conflicting cracks or emulators To resolve the error, follow these logical steps:
Step 5: Use a virtual USB dongle emulator (advanced users only)
If you still have the old motherboard/HDD that was active when the dongle was last working, reinstall that hardware. This is the only 100% free method. Step 2: Reinstall dongle drivers

| You replaced haspdos.dll or wibukey.dll with cracked versions | The cracked DLL expects a specific hardware ID that your dongle emulator does not supply. |
| You used a "patch" that modifies autodata.exe | The patch writes a fixed dongle ID into the executable, but your emulator generates a random ID on each reboot. |
| You have a real (original) dongle from another PC | The software license is tied to the original installation hardware. Moving the dongle to a new PC triggers a mismatch unless re-activated. |
If your system is now showing the "hardware information does not match" error and you want to clean everything out: Step 3: Check for hardware ID changes
C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodata, C:\ProgramData\AutodataAutodata, HASP, hardlock, wibukey.After this, the error will no longer appear, because the software will be gone. If you ever try a new crack, do it in a virtual machine (VMware/VirtualBox) to avoid infecting your main PC.
There are three primary technical reasons this mismatch error occurs:
