 Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 11:05 pm Post subject: Smart STV3 with XDA II x2 |
 |
|
I have two XDA II's and I want to able to use both with one set of maps (Smart STV3), I have installed and registed everything for one of my XDA's, I have also installed and actived the software etc on the 2nd XDA, when I try and install the maps on the 2nd XDA II, NAVMAN won't let me register the new hardware, because 1 piece of hardware has already been registered.
Does anybody know a walk around for this, so that I can load in the maps,
BTW I have maps install on SD card, when I run Smart ST on the 2nd XDA with the SD installed, Smart ST runs ok but won't load the maps.
I have contacted NAVMAN customer support a before easter, no rsponse though. |

Like most software it will only allow you to Activate/Register to one device. To use the same make of software on each XDA II you will need to purchase an additional copy.

I don't really buy that (excuse the pun), I have installed several items of software on my my PC and laptop without any problems, me thinks this is a NAVMAN con, if I own the software and hardware I should be able to install it on my devices.
Does anybody know the phone number contact to for NAVAM, I have serached there web site and I can't find it. |

When you ring Navman, and you can do so on 01293 780500, they will tell you that you aren't buying the software but you are buying a licence to use the software and maps on one device. That is the way most software works. I say most, because Garmin, for instance, allow you to install their software onto two devices, so long as you own both devices.

You'll find that you are operating the software on the one PC illegally then, unless you are using say Openoffice, which is open source, or the student edition of office, which I believe allows upto 3 PC's to have it installed on legally.
The latest versions of Office and Windows has much stronger protection and can be less easily used on more than 1 pc.
