About Carlson

The purpose of this dialog is to inform user about currently installed version of the software, enabled features and to assist with registration and installation issues.


The list box in the dialog shows the copyright notice, when and what version was installed, patches applies and features currently licensed based on the serial numbers enabled.

Registration - clicking button leads to a dialog containing the list of the serial numbers currently in use in software and their status:


Click Add to put in additional serial numbers, or highlight number and click Remove to deactivate it. At least one serial number needs to be entered in this dialog for the program to function. Each purchased serial number needs to be registered, which is done at program startup or from this dialog, by highlighting the number and clicking Register.
Extend Demo - this button is only present when software is in trial mode. This provides user with information needed to extend duration of the trial by 14 days or 2000 uses, whichever comes first. Extension is not additive, so it needs to be performed when software expired or about to expire to give the most benefit.

Revision History
- clicking this button causes software to receive the revision notes off the server and to display information about changes contained in individual updates

Validate Install - the purpose of this function is to analyze the checksum, size and date of program files to determine which files have been corrupted or modified/replaced since the program installation. The report is presented with the list of the mismatched or missing files.
