FAQ
Q: |
I've installed the software but
it will not work? |
A: |
You have
to install all system prerequisites (like Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1) before you install or run the software. |
|
|
Q: |
I've started the software but
almost none of the options in menus is enabled? |
A: |
You have
to register the software before you can use it, even under personal
license (which is free). Follow detailed instruction in Help » Contents » Registration on how to do this. |
|
|
Q: |
What is written in registration
data?
|
A: |
Registration
data contains encrypted information about your registration request,
i.e. the information about few hardware components of your computer, as usual for
software protection. |
|
|
Q: |
I've registered the product for
personal use. Some options in menus are enabled, but some options are
still disabled? |
A: |
Advanced
program options (like integration with development environments or
database management tools) are available only with commercial license. |
|
|
Q: |
I've used the software under
personal license, but now I need to use it for commercial project. What
to do?
|
A: |
First you
need to purchase the commercial license. Look at Buy section. Then
uninstall the software through start
» Control Panel » Add or
Remove Programs, and install it again using setup program (to
clear all
personal registration data). Start the software and repeat the routine
for registering, like you did for personal license (don't forget to
select Commercial for Registration Type), except this
time you'll
receive license data that will unlock all options in the software. |
|
|
Q: |
If I turn on the option to exit
automatically after UUID/GUID is generated, can I turn it off? |
A: |
Yes. When
the program starts, it generates UUID/GUID and places it on clipboard.
There is a small delay (approx. 3 seconds), and in that time you should
uncheck the option for automatic exit. |
|
|
Q: |
I have integrated this tool
into Eclipse IDE 3.4 (or Eclipse IDE 3.5). Where is it located? |
A: |
Look at
option Run » External Tools » uidMaker in main menu, or
button Run uidMaker (right
next to Run As...) in main
toolbar in
Eclipse. |
|
|
Q: |
Can uidMaker
be integrated in all development environments of Visual Stuido 2008
Express Edition? |
A: |
It is possible to select one or
more development environments for integration. After
successful integration, this tool would appear under Tools menu in Visual
Basic, Visual C#, Visual C and Visual Web Developer.
|
|
|
Q: |
Will uidMaker be available on
Linux, too? |
A: |
For the
moment there are no precise plans whether there will be a development
on Linux platform. If there is a great interest for Linux tools among
our users, we will include Linux version in the software roadmap. |
