This likely isn't a bug, but is something to be aware of. Yesterday upon exiting DX4WIN 8.02 and answering "yes" to the "Log Modified, Do You Want to Save" dialog box, I received the error message that I was using an unlicensed demo version and the log couldn't be saved. Very stupidly thinking it meant nothing because I knew it was licensed, my finger reflex hit the exit button and zap...the day's QSO's were gone.
The only thing odd about this logging session was that it began with me double-clicking a DX4WIN shortcut icon in my quick-start bar (which should have been single-clicked) and two DX4WIN sessions tried to open at the same time. One failed (giving an error message) and I exited. The other one started successfully so I simply left that one running and used it. Assuming this was the cause of the "unlicensed demo version" warning, I have some suggestions: 1. If you are a habitual double-clicker, eliminate your quick-start single-click shortcuts. 2. If you accidently start two sessions simultaneously, exit BOTH and start again. Then test the session you are using to make sure it recognizes your license. 3. If your computer tells you something, LISTEN! Just because YOU know something doesn't mean your computer does! 4. If you get the "demo version, can't save log" message, don't ignore it...make a hard copy of your changes before exiting, either by capturing a screen dump or by printing the modified portion of your log (if the program lets you). 5. If you contacted KTØK on late 18 October thru early 19 October UTC, drop me an email with the QSO info!!
