Single-user and server licensing

KADMOS is protected against multiple usage of a single licence. As recommended by Microsoft, for this purpose a file with the name/number of the licence is opened in the directory CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, usually C:\ProgrammData\. Sometimes there is a problem that the operating system doesn't release the licence file after a program crash. In this case simply delete the directory kadmos in CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA.

A problem might occur when a KADMOS app is run from an external network. Then you have to make sure that your system operator enables acces to the directory CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA.

DLL version and trigger code

Wait a day. The dialog window will appear once a day, when the recognition function is called for the first time.

What can I do if the deadline is reached before I entered the trigger code? Delete all KADMOS files in all directories (DLLs and KADMOS.LIC) and repeat the installation. Now you are in the situation of the first installation.
Note that the entry code and computer ID now have changed. To get a valid trigger code you have to report these new numbers.

Yes. The files KADMOS.LIC, MACHNM1.EXE, KADMOS.?? (??=country code UK,DE, ..), and KADMOS.DLL must be in the same directory as your application.

Yes. Install the KADMOS software from the original disks on the customers computer. Pass the daily question for the trigger code by the 'Later' button. This works for 30 days.

Basically no. But you can do it for a time of 4 weeks for tests.

The KADMOS.DLL and and other files of the developer kit have different version numbers. This may happen if you have an older KADMOS version on your computer and did not delete it completely.

You tried to work with an unauthorized, corrupt, or changed KADMOS.DLL.

Exactly what it says. This may happen if you changed the system time forward while using KADMOS or if you indeed turned it back. You can overcome this problem in one of the following ways. You can wait for the moment when the actual system time is greater then the last access time of KADMOS. Or, you overwrite the KADMOS.LIC file in the application directory by the backup version (made after(!) the authorization).

You have too often tried to enter a wrong trigger code.
What can I do if the deadline is reached before I entered the trigger code? Delete all KADMOS files in all directories (DLLs and KADMOS.LIC) and repeat the installation. Now you are in the situation of the first installation.
