2.3 P&E Software Licensing System
When Cyclone Launch or the Cyclone Control DLL is used for the first
time, a popup form will be shown prompting the user to enter the relevant
information to activate the software. Please refer to the original packaging for the
necessary installation code. Please follow the on-screen instructions to activate
the product.
In a situation where you would like to change versions, (e.g. upgrading
from Basic edition to Professional edition) please perform the following
procedure:
1. Uninstall the current version of the software
2.
Search your PC for the “pemicro.lic” file*. Backup or delete this file.
3. Install the new version of the software
4. Proceed with the software activation process using the new installation
code that you should have received
* The “pemicro.lic” file is found in the same directory where the DLL resides.
Normally this is found in the Windows System Folder:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME
\WINNT\SYSTEM32 for Windows 2000, Windows NT
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 for 32 bit versions of Windows XP, Windows
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64 for 64 bit versions of Windows XP, Windows
Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10
If the user account that is activating the software does not have the required
elevated privileges to modify the System Folder, the pemicro.lic file may be
redirected to the VirtualStore System Folder by User Account Control. This may
be found at
“\USERS\%USERNAME%\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\WINDOWS\”
