New for GMS 7.0, SMS 10.0, WMS 8.2 and AHGW 2.0

In the past, when a company upgraded to a newer version of the program, they mailed the old lock to Aquaveo to be re-burned and mailed back. To make this process more convenient, starting with GMS 7.0, SMS 10.0, WMS 8.2, and AHGW 2.0, Aquaveo has streamlined the process, allowing users to re-burn their locks on their own computers. Following is exactly how this process works:

Steps for updating a hardware lock to match a software upgrade

1. Upon confirmation of payment, a member of the Aquaveo sales team will enter the company information in a database and send a matching registration code to you.
2. If not already done, install the upgraded software from the Aquaveo Download Center.
3. Plug the existing hardware lock (which is currently programmed for a previous version) into the computer.
4. Open the XMS software and select Help | Register.
5. Select the "Change Registration" button.
6. Select the "Hardware lock" option, then select "Next >".
7. Select the "Local lock on my machine..." option, then activate the "I have a code to modify my hardware lock*" checkbox.
8. Enter your registration code in the field to the right of the "I have a code to modify my hardware lock*", then select "Next >". This does a few things in the background:
• It retrieves the serial number of the hardware lock in your machine and sends it and the registration code over the internet to Aquaveo's database.
• The hardware lock serial number is then appended to the database along with a timestamp, and the enabled models are retreived.
• After this point, the registration code can not be used for any other hardware lock.
9. The hardware lock is burned, and it can be now be used on any computer.
