Registering Lookout
Be sure to register your Lookout package to receive your permanent unlock
code. As an unregistered package, Lookout is limited to 50 I/O points and
one client connection and only runs for 30 days.
If you are installing a free client run-time version of Lookout only, you do
not have to register. If you are installing Lookout as an upgrade to an earlier
version, you have already provided registration information, and Lookout
opens with a request for you to log in.
In either of those cases you can skip the registration instructions.
If this is your first installation of a server or development version of
Lookout on the computer you are using, or if you have any lost or corrupted
your registration information, then the first time you launch Lookout,
itprompts you for registration information.
Note When you register Lookout, you unlock it for permanent use at your appropriate I/O
count. If you do not register Lookout by the end of the 30 day period, it lap ses to a demo
system. You must complete the license agreement and mail or fax a copy of th e agreement
to NationalInstruments in order to register Lookout. Upon receipt of the registration form,
National Instruments generates a key code to unlock Lookout and faxes or mails it to you.
Lookout requires a hardware key in some countries. Contact NationalInstruments if
youare not sure whether your system requires a hardware key. If you were supplied a key
with Lookout, be sure to plug it into the parallel port on your computer before activating
Lookout.
