AOR Hawk 5000 for Windows
TM
is copy protected using a system which
places a “token” on your hard disk when you install the program. The program
will only work on the hard disk you installed it to. There is no dongle or key-
disk, so once installed the program runs completely normally and you will not
be inconvenienced (unlike other schemes).
Specific points to remember:
1. The distribution disk contains two tokens. This means that you can install
up to two complete copies of the software on separate machines at once. You
cannot transfer the program to another machine without first moving one of the
tokens back onto the original distribution disk then re-installing. The tokens
can easily be moved with the program that is provided. Contact your AOR
distributor if you need additional copies of the software.
2. You should keep your original disk in a safe place away from strong
magnetic fields, high humidity or other environmental conditions that could
damage it. You will not be able to re-install the software or move it to another
machine without the distribution disk.
3. Two hidden files are copied to a hidden subdirectory of the AOR Hawk
5000 directory (SDU5000.CCC and CCONTROL.SYS) when you install the
software. These contain configuration information for the copy protection
scheme and are normal DOS format files. DO NOT DELETE THESE FILES
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If these files are deleted, AOR Hawk 5000
will not run.
4. If you are using a backup utility, make sure that the two hidden files are not
backed up. When restored, the copy protection scheme may not be able to
validate the installation and AOR Hawk 5000 will not run. Most backup
utilities do not touch these files because they have the hidden, system and
read-only attributes set. The two copy protection files also do not have the
archive bit set, so you should be able to exclude them from backups by setting
up your backup software to ignore files without an archive bit. Remember, it is
not the backup but the restore that can cause problems.
5. The /d+ option of the PC-Kwik disk cache software from Multisoft
Corporation is not compatible with the copy protection scheme and should be
temporarily disabled when installing AOR Hawk 5000 or moving the token.
HyperCache also affects the copy protection scheme in the same way because
of non-standard methods of accessing the floppy disk drive. Again, it should
be temporarily disabled, but both caches may be used at other times.
6. The copy protection scheme is compatible with disk drives compressed
with SuperStor, Stacker and DoubleSpace. However, you should temporarily
remove the token from the hard disk when installing one of these compression
utilities because the protection will appear invalid when the drives are
compressed. The disk compression utilities warn you of this in their manuals.
