Chapter 1 Installing Lookout

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,

it prompts 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 lapses to a demo

system. You must complete the license agreement and mail or fax a copy of the agreement

to National Instruments 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 National Instruments if

you are 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.

1. Launch Lookout by selecting Start»Programs»National
