What is a validation code?

1.  Run the software

2.  Click on the "Registration" menu item.

3.  The "Registration" dialog box will appear.

4.  Underneath the label, "Validation Code" is an edit box with the validation code.

5.  Copy and paste that code and include it with your order.  If you've already ordered and failed to include the validation code in your order, just email the validation code to admin@ndsutilities.com.  If an order is received with no validation code included, we will  send an email request for the validation code.

No two validation codes are equal.  A validation code is machine specific and unique only to the computer that generated it.  Thus the license file is UNIQUE to the computer and is not compatible with a different computer.

4.  Under the label "Activation Code" resides an edit box.

5.  Enter in the activation code in the edit box.

6.  Click OK.

7.  The license file will be generated in the working directory of the software.

8.  If the software is moved to another subdirectory, ensure that the license file is moved with it.

Why do I get errors when launching the software?

Make sure you have the Novell's NWClient32 installed.  Also verify that all libraries and files included with any NDS Utilities package are in the same subdirectory as the executable.

What is a corporate license?

A corporate license does not require activation or validation codes.  A single license file is generated and will work on any workstation.  Simply provide your company's name when ordering a corporate license.
