Summary
When you first install Omnivex software, the system includes a 30-day evaluation key. You can register at any time. Each copy of Omnivex software must be registered separately. The registrations are hardware specific. If you change computers for any reason, you must re-register the software.

These instructions apply to all Omivex applications, except:

• SQLLink 4
• Moxie

Solution
When your Omnivex application launches, a window opens and reminds you to register your software. The Installation ID is displayed.

Note: If you are using a hardware dongle, make sure you have connected it to the PC on which you have installed your software. Include the dongle number in your e-mail.

To submit your Installation ID and begin the registration process:

1. Click the registration@omnivex.com link. This generates an automatic e-mail that contains your product information and Installation ID. Include your contact information and PC name data in the e-mail. If you are replacing existing hardware with a new PC, include in the body of your e-mail:
   • the old PC name
   • the installation ID from the old PC
   • a description of why the PC is being replaced
2. Send the e-mail to the Omnivex registration department.

You have successfully submitted your Installation ID to Omnivex Registration. Please allow 1-3 business days for a reply. When Omnivex Registration e-mails the registration file to you, you can register the software.

Before you add the registration file, make sure:

• The Omnivex software is not currently running.
• You are on the PC from which the Installation ID was submitted.
• If you are using a dongle, ensure it is attached to the PC.

To add your registration file:

1. In the Omnivex software directory (C:\Program Files\Omnivex\Product name), select Tools > Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, clear the Hide file extensions for known file types check box.
3. If there is a reg.dat file in the folder, right-click the file and rename it regold.dat
4. Copy the file from the Omnivex registration e-mail into the Omnivex software directory.
5. If your registration file is a reg.txt file, right-click and rename it reg.dat.

You have successfully registered your Omnivex software.
