The E-On Software

This CD contains an interactive demo and the client software that E-On subscribers need to access the games and chat services.  The client software consists of two parts: the Game Manager and the Games Room. You will need to install this software in order to access any of the

games, educational software and chat on the E-On site.

The Game Manager

The Games Room

Important note


The Game Manager

E-On provides its subscribers with a range of  'hit' games for download.  These games cannot be transferred to any other computer.  Once they have been downloaded to a subscriber's machine, they will only run on that machine.  They need to be refreshed every 30 days.

This does not mean that the user has to download each game over again, they must merely run the Game Manager so it can check that their account is still open (See the Game Manager help file for further details).

When you run the Game Manager for the first time, you must be connected to the Internet and have your subscribed Login name and password ready.  After you have entered your details, Game Manager will verify your account with the E-On server and allow you access to the download games that are available from the E-On web site.

See http://www.e-on.com for details.

To run the game manager, you MUST be a subscriber and have an open connection to the Internet.


The Games Room

The multi-player games and chat areas can be launched from the Games Room.  By clicking the play now icons on the multi-player games web pages at E-On, you will start the Games Room.  From the Games Room, you will be able to access all of the multi-player games and chat to

other subscribers.

You cannot play any of the multi-player games until you have logged in to the Games Room.  You have to enter your subscribed Login name and password to do so.
