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!
