KADMOS Licensing of the DLL Version

The recognition software KADMOS is a 32 bit Windows DLL. In order to avoid an additional hardware dongle, KADMOS contains a software protection. The developer kit and any run time license can be used on one computer exclusively. Please carefully follow the instructions below to validate your KADMOS product on your computer.

After calling a classifier for the first time a dialog box will appear containing the product description, the current version, and two numbers (code entry, computer ID). To get an unlimited validation you have to fill in the trigger code. You get this trigger code from your distributor or directly from re Recognition GmbH.

If this window appears, you have two possibilities to proceed:

Write down all informations of the dialog (product description, version, entry code, computer ID) and click on "Later". Now KADMOS will work one day and you have time to care to get the correct trigger code. If one day is too short to get it, you can repeat this procedure daily - for about 4 weeks.

But keep in mind that this repeated one day licensing is possible for 30 days only

Within this time you have to license the KADMOS software to avoid further trouble. You may contact:

Once you got the trigger code, fill it in during the next day session and registration has been done.
After the correct validation of KADMOS it will work with no further restriction or licensing messages.

We strongly recommend to save the KADMOS.LIC (formerly KADMOS.LF) file after the validation from the directory of your application to a disk outside the computer.

FAQs

1.	How can I enter the trigger code after closing the licensing dialog? Wait a day. The dialog window will appear once a day, when the recognition function is called for the first time.
2.	What can I do if the deadline is reached before I entered the trigger code? Delete all KADMOS files in all directories (DLLs and KADMOS.LIC) and repeat the installation. Now you are in the situation of the first installation. IMPORTANT: Note that the entry code and computer ID now have changed. To get a valid trigger code you have to report these new numbers.
3.	Can I move the KADMOS software to some other drive and directory? Yes. IMPORTANT: The files KADMOS.LIC, MACHNM1.EXE, KADMOS.?? (??=country code UK,DE, ..), and KADMOS.DLL must be in the same directory as your application.
4.	Can I test my application on some customers computer before ordering a runtime license? Yes. Install the KADMOS software from the original disks on the customers computer. Pass the daily question for the trigger code by the 'Later' button. This works for 4 weeks.
5.	Can I use the KADMOS software on different computers? Basically no. But you can do it for a time of 4 weeks (see question 4).
6.	What means the message "Incompatible KADMOS version"? The KADMOS.DLL and and other files of the developer kit have different version numbers. This may happen if you have an older KADMOS version on your computer and did not delete it completely.
7.	What means the message "DLL KADMOS corrupt"? You tried to work with an unauthorized, corrupt, or changed KADMOS.DLL.
8.	What means the message "Your clock has been turned back. Please correct and re-run application"? Exactly what it says. This may happen if you changed the system time forward while using KADMOS or if you indeed turned it back. You can overcome this problem in one of the following ways. You can wait for the moment when the actual system time is greater then the last access time of KADMOS. Or, you overwrite the KADMOS.LIC file in the application directory by the backup version (made after(!) the authorization).
9.	What means the message "Your maximal number of licensing attempts is used up. Please contact the distributor of the application"? You have too often tried to enter a wrong trigger code. Proceed as in answer 2.
10.	What can I do if some crash of the computer destroyed the KADMOS files? Proceed as in answer 2.
11.	What means the message "Cannot execute MACHNM1.EXE!"? The file MACHNM1.EXE was not found in the application directory.
