This technical note applies to:

• Zetafax version 2008

Summary

Zetafax 2008 uses an online registration mechanism. Once you have successfully entered your contact details you will be emailed a registration code to register.

The Zetafax configuration program will link you to the online registration page automatically; however there may be instances where you need to navigate to the page manually and enter the information e.g. no internet access from the Zetafax Server.

This article will guide you through entering this information correctly in order to receive your registration code.

1. Choose the Product to be registered: and Product version: you are registering from the available drop downs. Also choose Full for the Type of registration:

1. The Starter license key: and Add-on licenses: fields are case sensitive and also sensitive to trailing or leading spaces.

1. The Company Name: field on the online registration page needs to be entered exactly as it appears in the Register From Another Computer screen.

NOTE: That trailing spaces and other characters in the Company Name: field will cause the registration to fail e.g. Smith and Sons in the software and Smith & Sons. entered on the online registration page will generate a failure.

NOTE: That if the registration fails or if the registration code provided is wrong, forward the failure email to support@equisys.com along with C:\Program Files\Zetafax Server\System\Z-DB\LICENCE.DAT (You may need to zip LICENCE.DAT as some mail systems block DAT files). Equisys will investigate and email back a resolution.
