two questions

wordmuse · #1 10-31-2006, 09:04 AM

Hi,

Couple of questions:

1 - to use 2e I just do the new install over 2d? Will I be asked my registration info again, or will it know that I'm a registered user?

2 - I see that there is a UR viewer. Where can I download it? Can I distribute it or announce the link to my user community?

Thanks.

Regards,
Bal

1) you can simply install 2.0e over 2.0d (or prior). You will not have to re-register.

2) The viewer can be downloaded here, and yes, you can distribute it or publish that link to anyone.

For some reason the viewer doesn't work on my machine. It seems to load, but I never see any screen.

Any ideas?

Are you running the viewer while Ultra Recall Standard or Professional is also running? I don't think that will work.

You are right - I was and it now works just fine.

One more question: is there a way to make a UR Pro database read only and un-copy-able, even if someone else has a copy of UR Pro.

I'd like to distribute information that can be read and used, but not copied and altered.

Thanks.

No, there is no way to make a .urd file permanently readonly or block the ability to copy it.

If the file's read-only attribute is set, it will open read-only in UR.

Yeah - that's true, but it's very easy for someone to reset the attribute, yes?

I don't know if this is possible, but maybe give UR Pro the ability to save a file with a different extension (e.g., urr). UR Pro would then require a password for opening the urr file as writable. For anyone without the password, UR Pro would become similar to the UR viewer.

Just a thought.
