Ready to go back to Hal 5...
« on: March 19, 2006, 10:23:47 pm »
Is it normal to have to enter the auth. code every single time I reboot the computer? The first 2 times it went ok... annoying but ok... this time I got a stack of messages telling me I had to enter the code, that it was corrupt and I need to request a new code AND that I should try again tomorrow "maybe it will work then"...  This software couldn't possibly be this screwed up could it? [?]

Maybe I just got the one made on a friday afternoon... [:D]

Um, Wow, I have never in the 3 years of programming HAL in this forum ever heard of such a problem without having a good Registration code.

Maybe you are dealing with the anti-Piracy protection that came included with HAL's Installation, If you've purchased HAL then you can get a good registration code from:
http://www.zabaware.com/products/store/comersus_customerAuthenticateForm.asp?redirect=&idProduct=
This should solve the problem if you are a registered product user, If not then I can help you no further.

Maybe I did get the friday model then... [8D]

Got the CD on Thurs and have been able to use the program twice... was really starting to wonder...

My worry is that I spend 8 to 10 months of the year on the road and internet connections are hit and miss, I figure this program will be good to kill the downtime but only if I don't have to connect and authorize every time I want to use it...

I can see Rob using security on his software but if the code makes Hal unusable... [?]  I've got graphic programs that've been running 5 years & I've never had to put in the activation code a 2nd time. (Even the new version of Photoshop... paid $652 and didn't even have to be online to activate it...)

Sent in the request earlier tonight and still waiting to hear back.

Anyway, thanks for your reply, made me feel like theres hope for Hals future... [8D]

Update... Rob sent me a new code yesterday that apparently sent the gremlins packing! [:D] (Its working exactly how it should...)

I didn't get it either... I've been using Hal 5 for 2 years and never had a problem except the error screen that would happen occasionally > seemed to be a limit on how much info #5 could take in 1 session, but the db method in #6 seems to have cured that problem too...

Me and Hal are friends again... [:)]
