Hi folks, With all of the postings of topics concerning the authorization of JFW I thought I would try to help out here. First, HJ uses two different authorization programs to authorize JFW. The one we have been using the longest is the Everlock program which uses the EVMOVE commands from DOS, and the WINMOVE commands from the Run dialogue box in Windows itself. I believe someone posted a good description of how these two sets of commands work, but I will try to summarize them a bit. No matter which program is being used to move the authorization key, or what type of key you have you should place the authorization disk in the floppy drive first before attempting to access that program. That brings me to another point here. Remember, the keys are reuseable. Once you place a key on your hard drive you can if need be remove it back to the floppy disk. By doing this you will be able to use that key on a different system say at a job site. You are provided with more than one key with your authorization disk so that even if you have a key on your home system you can install another on a work system, and still have keys remaining on your authorization disk. Incidently, the version of JFW doesn't determine which type of authorization you have. The two types are Everlock, and Quelle. Everyone who is using JFW on an NT system has Quelle, and some other users on 9x systems are also using the Quelle method of authorization, but some may have the Everlock system. Following are details on both types of authorization programs we use. EVMOVE (Everlock): >From a DOS window, or DOS mode you should be at an A Prompt. Type evmove a: c: or evmove c: a: depending on which way you want to move the key. The first drive letter following the evmove command marks the current location of the key you want to move. The second drive letter tells the program where you want to place the key. You will be asked to confirm the move and pressing enter will confirm it. Once the move is complete a dialogue will appear telling you it was successful and how many keys remain on the authorization disk. WINMOVE (Everlock): >From the Run dialogue box type a:winmove a: c: or c: a: again depending on the direction of where you want the key to go. Again, you will be asked to confirm the move. These two methods of moving the Everlock keys are quite similar. HJAuth (Quelle): >From the Run dialogue box in the start menu type a:hjauth and press enter. You are presented with a dialogue box and the first control gives the authorization disk location. You can edit this field if need be, but the default is a:. Pressing tab gives you an information field which provides the information once one of the radio buttons in the next control is chosen and executed. Tab again to find a group of 5 radio buttons. The first one is to install authorization, and there are buttons for uninstalling authorization and getting install count etc. Just use the arrow keys to choose one and press tab. The next field shows the drive letter to be affected by your action. In otherwords if you had chosen to install authorization this field would show c:. It can also be edited to reflect another drive if necessary. Tab again to find the execute button. Pressing enter here will of course force the action to be taken. In a few seconds you will be able to tab to the information field again and use your PC cursor to read information concerning what happened. You can tab to the exit button to close this dialogue box. Note that if you choose you can even use commands like the following in place of using the dialogue box mentioned above. a:hjauth a: c: a:hjauth c: a: Pressing enter after these commands will execute them in a similar way to the Everlock program. With both of these programs, Everlock, and Quelle the authorization keys are replaceable either by phone, or by e mail from HJ. It is important to take good care of your authorization disk. Without it you won't be able to move keys back and forth on the system. You should have your authorization disk available and be at a computer if you call HJ needing replacement keys. The system doesn't have to have JFW installed to replace the lost keys, but you may need sighted help. I hope I have helped to clear up some of the questions concerning the authorization systems being used by Henter-Joyce. I have not covered everything possible, and If you have any additional questions concerning what programs may affect your authorization keys such as Defrag etc. Please don't hesitate to contact us either by phone or by email.
