- The included brand utility lets you remove NPA's nag screen and at
- the same time personalize your copy. When you register NPA, you'll
- receive two registration keys that will enable Brand to stamp your
- copy as registered.
-
- You can register by mail by sending a check or money order or by
- telephone using your Visa or MasterCard. If you register by mail, I
- will send you a receipt containing the registration keys. If you
- register by telephone, I will issue the keys immediately so as to
- speed your order then follow up by sending a receipt with the keys.
-
- For details on registering, please see the LICENSING section near the
- bottom of the NPA.DOC file.
-
- Once you have received the registration keys, you're ready to use the
- brand utility. Please do a 'CD' command to change your current
- default directory to where you have the NPA data base files stored
- then execute the brand utility with no arguments.
-
- Brand will ask for your Assigned Registration Name. This name must
- be entered exactly as issued by the PC Consultant. All characters
- are case and position sensitive. Actually, you'll tell the PC
- Consultant what name to use and it will be reissued back to you
- containing all proper capitalization, spaces, and punctuation.
-
- Brand will then ask for both registration numbers. Enter those as
- they are asked. Do not include spaces when entering the numbers.
-
- If you entered everything correctly, Brand will create the license
- file and indicate success, otherwise an error message is printed. If
- you receive an error, go over your input again paying close attention
- to how you entered the name. Remember, it must EXACTLY match the
- registration name specified by the PC Consultant.
-
- If the brand program indicates success but you still get the nag
- screen when using NPA, then one (or more) of the following may be
- wrong:
-
- 1. Make sure the file "license.dat" is in the SAME directory
- that contains the NPA data base files. The NPA data base
- files all have a file name of "NPA_DATA" followed by a two
- character extension. You must have this directory current
- when using the brand utility.
-
- 2. Make sure NPA can find the data base files. As detailed in
- NPA.DOC, the recommended way is to use the NPA_DATA
- environment variable. See "CONFIGURING PATH FOR DATA FILES"
- in the NPA.DOC file.
-
-
- Thats it! You now have a registered and personalized copy! Thank
- you for registering!
