Also thanks to Jim Taylor for his kind words. In answer to your question, I don't work for the company. I'm 15, and I've had my BrailleNote for almost a year, but I've had to teach myself everything. The special education department of my high school didn't feel it was necessary for me to have anything above a Braille n Speak, and since I felt I needed something much more advanced to continue my studies, my family was able to help me acquire my BN. It's great to have people who are supportive of your dreams despite your disability. Anyway, my appologies for not including the bit about the Product Key; sorry it gave you problems. I read in the Release Notes for KeySoft 5 that it doesn't require a product key (it can also be referred sz a Security Key, or the BN uses the prompt "Comcand Line?" when it queries one). Most of the programs for the BN don't require one, but if they do, there will be a specific reference in the documentation for the program (user guide, readme, release notes, etc.) If you experience any problems with KeySoft 5 now, which you shouldn't, you can just reinstall, and press Enter on the "Command Line?" prompt without entering anything. The reason this prompt exists in the first place is because certain products need the command to "unlock" the product. Because of copyright protection, the program is given a unique signature when you receive it that allows it only to run on your unit (this is why your Serial Number is required when requesting programs for the BN); sometimes this key is needed to allow the software to work. With KeySoft (and also the GPS software) already have this signature built in when you provide your serial number, so the software is automatically unlocked when it's installed on the unit with the same serial number. If you tried to run it on another unit, however, it wouldn't work. If you ever need to enter a Product Key on a program after installation (for example, you left the "Command Line?" prompt blank during installation because you didn't know the correct information, and now the product isn't working, and you've found a Key in its documentation)), you don't have to re-install. You can go to the Utilities Menu and then the Key Management menu. The first item here, "Enter a New Product Key", allows you to do just that. In the User Guide, there's information in the chapter about the Utilities Menu and in the last section of the chapter entitled "Key Management". Hope this helps.
