NOTE:
The iData 2.5 Beta will not accept any serial numbers. Each beta
version will expire 30 days after its creation date. When the release
version of iData 2.5 is published, its serial numbers will not be the
same as those used for iData 2.0 and 2.1. Therefore, the License... item under the iData 2 menu has been disabled in
the beta.
After purchasing an iData 2 serial number, if you have run iData 2 before (as a demo, for instance), you may not see the serial number entry window right away. In that case, iData provides a way for you to bring it up whenever you like.
Here's how to enter your new serial number in iData 2:
1. Select License...
under the iData 2
menu. This
will bring up the following window. The message at the top will vary
according to how many days iData had been used prior to bringing up the
License window.
2. Enter your name in the Licensed Name: text field. iData 2 doesn't use your name for any particular purpose, so you can enter anything you like here.
3. Enter your serial number in the Serial Number: text field. (iData 2.5 serial numbers start with ID25-, followed by four groups of three digits, separated by hyphens.)
4. Click the Add License
button, and the Entered, Kind, and Licensed Name columns in the upper
field will display the appropriate information.
If you have any trouble pasting your
serial number into its text field after copying it from an email
message, try just typing it in. It seems that some email styles may
interfere with copying, and it's also easy to pick up extraneous space
characters that will interfere with iData's processing of the serial
number.
Once you have successfully added a license, the License... item under the iData 2 menu will be disabled. If you move the iData 2 application to a different hard drive, or if you reformat your current hard drive and have to reinstall iData 2, you will have to re-enter your serial number, as well.
As you can see, if you don't already have a serial number for iData 2, you can click the Buy License... button to go to the iData 2 Web site to get one. You can also select iData Orders from the Help menu.
