Like I said - I can still use the maps in UIView; I can move them around & zoom in & out. I cannot dynamically zoom them, if that what you mean. I have to turn on alternate mouse functions and then <left Click & drag> I guess fussing with "things" as hams naturally do, is not always a good thing! Fall is here and hopefully an end to this nightmare is closer to an end as well. Regards, Kevin KD7DFV -----Original Message-----

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.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen H.
