These functions prevent theft, tampering, wrongful operation, illegal execution, etc. of a customer's assets saved on a
personal computer or in modules in the FX5 system as a result of illegal access by a third party. Use of the security functions

Precautions
When a personal computer registered with a security key is misused by a third party, the outflow of program assets cannot be
prevented. For this reason, the customer must adopt sufficient measures as explained below:
• Personal computer antitheft measures (using a wire lock, etc.)
• Management of personal computer users (deletion of unwanted accounts, strict control of login information, introduction of
fingerprint authentication, etc.)
Also, when a personal computer registered with a security key malfunctions, locked project data cannot be accessed/viewed
or edited. Mitsubishi Electric Corporation cannot be held responsible for any loss that may occur as a result of this with the
customer, other individuals or organizations. For this reason, the customer must adopt sufficient measures as explained
below:
• Export registered security keys and import them into another personal computer.
• Store files containing exported security keys in a safe location.
