Software Activation

You will be asked to activate your new software when you open CoPilot on your Pocket PC. Note that, unlike in previous versions, desktop activation is no longer required. You can now open and use CoPilot’s desktop trip planning software without activating it.

Keep your Pocket PC connected to your desktop and open CoPilot on your Pocket PC. Follow the steps below to activate on your Pocket PC:

1.Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop via ActiveSync.

2.On your Pocket PC go to Start > Programs > CoPilot.

NOTE: Software activation does NOT register your software, they are two different processes. See Software Registration, p. 92.

Deactivation and License Update

If you’re planning to uninstall CoPilot from one Pocket device and install the same version on another device, you need to deactivate the software on the first device before installing it again. To do this, open CoPilot on your Pocket PC. If you can’t see the menus and toolbar, tap at the top or bottom of the screen. Tap the Tools menu, select Update License, then tap Deactivate in the License Manager. Your Pocket PC must be synchronized for the deactivation process to take effect. When you re-install CoPilot on another device, you will be asked to activate it again.

Speech Volume

To hear CoPilot’s voice prompts, the volume on your Pocket PC must be turned all the way up. In the Pocket PC Start menu, go to Settings and tap on Sounds and Notifications. Under System Volume, move the slide bar all the way to the right. Or use your Pocket PC’s keypad when CoPilot is open: tap up until you reach the maximum volume.

If you installed the TTS (text to speech) voice option, you may also want to make sure the “Amplify Speech Volume” option is on — tap the Tools menu (if you don’t see it, tap at the top or bottom of the screen), select Options, and tap the Guidance tab. This option should be checked.
