I have an issue.
Installing a new setup of UIV32 + PMSAT 8.0 on a new laptop.
Laptop is a Dell XPS15 9500 running Win 10 Pro, plenty of memory & horsepower
I still have my registration for UI-View and it appears to work just fine.
The problem is just with the maps.
Since there isn't a website anymore, am I just stuck with a program that no longer functions?
BTW - UIV32 seems to load & operate the maps in the database correctly & efficiently.

Precision Mapping 8.0? has been "abandon-ware" for nearly a decade now!?? There is now no way to activate or use PMap 8.0 either stand-alone or as a component of UIview.???? However, UIview definitely still functions. You can use a wide variety of static (fixed-view non-zooming) maps from various sources.?? And Precision Mapping 9.0 can still work with UIview.
The registration server "RegisterMyApp.com" was required to activate all versions of Precision Mapping. ? ? It spit out the "magic number" required to unlock and activate Precision Mapping. This number was based on the version number of Precision Mapping, and a hash of the version/serial number of your copy of Windows & the serial number of your hard disk.? I.e. it locked an installed Precision Mapping to a particular machine and hard disk.
IMPORTANT!? Replacing your hard disk with a new bigger one, or replacing a conventional mechanical disk with an SSD, will "break" this activation.
Over time, as newer versions of Precision Mapping were released, activation support for older versions were gradually discontinued.
-- In Nov 2006, Precision Mapping 8.0 was released
-- In May 2009, Precision Mapping 8.1 was released.
--? In February 2013, the last & final version 9.0 of Precision Mapping was released, along with a new PMap Server 9.0.
--? In April 2014, Precision Mapping 9.0 was abruptly discontinued. At this time the activation support for Ver 8.0/8.1 was discontinued. However activation support for Ver 9.0 continued for 6 more years.
--? In March 2020, the activation server was completely shut down, orphaning ALL versions of Precision Mapping.
IMPORTANT! ? Unlike earlier versions, Precision Mapping 9.0 WILL work with UIview and the PMap Server 9.0 _WITHOUT_ being activated.??? However, you can't run the stand-alone Precision Mapping 9.0.? (Which DOES require the no-longer-possible activation code.)
