WiseCopy

If the PC where you want activate WiseCopy has an internet connection, the easiest way is to start with running WiseCopy. In fact, if your copy has not been registered yet, the program at startup shows the registration form, as in picture. If this form does not appear, you can retrieve it by using the menus File -> Program registration

Note: if the field Activation code is not blank, that is, if it contains a sequence of letters and numbers, normally 12, it means that the program is been activated, and therefore you should not do anything, unless you want to transfer the registration to a name or to a different name.

Copy the PayPal transaction code where it says Authorization code, and click Register online. After a few seconds, the Activation Code field should be automatically filled in, and you should get a message confirming the successful registration. Because the operation is successful it is necessary that:

• Your computer is connected to the Internet.
• Your firewall, if present and active, grants WiseCopy the access to the Internet. The program accesses a web service with a standard call on port 80: therefore, apart from the name of the program, you need not configure anything else. Normally, your firewall should ask permission when WiseCopy tries to access the network or the Internet. If your firewall is configured in a particular way, provide, or ask the one who installed and configured it.
• The web server and the web registration service is active and reachable. This the normal case, true 99.9% of the times, but it is always possible the occurrence of errors, or temporary unavailability of the server or service, for example for maintenance.

If the procedure of automatic registration is not possible, either by mistake or by lack of internet connection, you have to manually activate the program: to do so, you have get the activation code.

Activation code request via Internet

If during the automatic registration process any error occurs, the program launches your favorite Internet browser (Internet Explorer - bleah, Firefox, Safari ...), opening the page http://www.aldomarchioni.it/products/reg/, with all fields properly filled in. You can also explicitly request this behavior by checking the box Open browser before clicking on Register online: in such a case, the automatic registration is not even attempted.

At this point, follow the instructions on that page for the calculation of the activation code.

If the authorization code has already been used to obtain the activation code on the same PC, or if the program has been activated on the same PC in the past, you will be instead redirected to the page showing the activation code.

Activation code request via email

If the PC you want to activate WiseCopy to has no Internet access, you have no choice but to manually ask for an activation code. You have two options, but in any case you must first open the registration form, as above. If this form does not show when the program is run, you can retrieve it via File -> Program registration.

Note: if the field Activation code is not blank, that is it contains a sequence of letters and numbers, normally 12, it means that the program has already been registered, and therefore you should not do anything, unless you want to transfer the registration to a name or to another name.

Copy the PayPal transaction code where it says Authorization code, if you have it, or leave the field blank if you do not have one (it could be we have an agreement for free registration, for example, or you could have paid otherwise), and click Request. The program creates a file on your PC desktop that contains all the informations needed to manually generate an activation code.

This file, which is placed for your convenience on your desktop, must be sent via email. You will not find here, nowhere, my email address: so don't look for it, I get enough spam and junk mail, I will not publish my email address here, so if you do not have my email address because you got it from me, you have to open the file (eg using Notepad) and copy the entire contents to a message to be sent from here.

If your payment is regular and corfimed, you will receive the activation code as soon as possible, together with instructions for its use.

NB: please do not call to get the activation code. I am forced to oppose a polite but firm refusal. I can not afford to use my time to manage that business by phone. I will not make exceptions for anyone. In these cases, the exception becomes soon rule, and it is something that I can not afford. Likewise, do not send your request by fax. It will be ignored, and with no exceptions.
