REGISTERING WMS

When first installing WMS, it needs to be registered. The user can choose to register with a password, a hardware lock, or with an evaluation password, which allows evaluation of the program for free for 30-60 days.

To Obtain A Password:

Select Enable when WMS starts up. This brings up the Register dialog, which steps the user through the registration process. If not using a hardware lock, a password will be sent to the registered email to allow the user to register the product.

Hardware Lock:

Follow the instructions received with the hardware lock to install the hardware lock and accompanying drivers. If a hardware lock instructions were not received, or they have been misplaced, they can be found in the \Utils\Hwlock\Instructions directory on the CD. There are separate files for single user and network hardware locks. These files can be read using a web browser.
