EasyGo Screens

The screens have been completely redesigned:

new size to fit for more screen resolutions, especially for netbooks
each single text block on all screens can be modified
background image can be customized
new language - Turkish
Event based message screens

The workflow and the navigation was reworked, a lot of new screens have been added to help the user depending on the step in the activation process or when errors occur:

Start Screen in Evaluation Mode
Start Screen - No Evaluation Mode
Start Screen - no product activation possible
Start Screen - Evaluation without time limitation
Select Activation Method
Collect Activation Data - using one of 3 screens
Subscribe to Newsletter
E-Mail Activation. A new screen (activation in process) informs the user in case his e-mail client does not open, he could also copy and paste the e-mail content in e.g. a web mail system
Fax-Activation. A new screen (activation in process) informs the user that he has to send the fax and that he gets an Unlock Key within a few business days.
The screen - Activation completed - allows to type in additional keys. This is a very useful feature as the user can not only type in the Serial Number but also additional Activation Keys for modules during the product activation.
In case of a copy protection violation an option to reactivate the product is available
Screens to transfer a license
Error message - Network license deactivated
Error message after license transfer - license is deactivated - reactivate license
Error message - No free license available
Error message - No Internet connection
Error message - Wrong date / time during online activation
Error message - System date was tampered

Instead of using Licence Protector Serial Numbers you can use your own IDs, e.g. 12 characters, only upper case letters like AKIP-IUZW-II31 as Serial Numbers.

Changes in the project template

Define the main application module TAG <MainModuleID>. Every application can have one or more modules, which can be activated with a Serial Number TAG <IsSerial> but only one main module
Specify a Reseller - TAG <Reseller>. This information is sent to the Activation Server
Specify a version number - TAG <AppVersion>. This information is sent to the Activation Server
Define a default workflow for a module - <EasyGoWorkflow>. This default workflow can be redefined with the command SetRegisterSettings, WorkflowType
The TAG <CopyProtectionSwitchOnKey> and <CopyProtectionSwitchOffKey> replace the same values in the command SetRegisterSettings from version 2.7. They have been added for backward compatibility and are not necessary. The new TAG which is used from version 3.0 onwards is <ActivationStateAfterCPon>. This TAG is mandatory.
