These instructions apply just to the 3.1.4B DX Personal Edition. Our website
should be updated shortly with 13 March 2001 keys. Please, if there problems
with OpenDX under NT with cygwin that preclude you using it, it is best to
raise the issues now. Neither we, nor the 3.1.4B binaries, are getting any
younger!
For 3.1.4B, dx -register does not update the UserName or CompanyName, which
must match that used to generate the key. It sounds as if you originally
installed with your own key. If so, you will have to either reinstall dxpc
(be careful not to lose your dx customizations) or alter the windows registry
w/ regedit (be careful not to lose your whole machine!). The items that need
to be modified to match the "transition" key are in
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\IBM Visualization Data
Explorer\CurrentVersion.
Make the UserName "Visualization Data Explorer" and the CompanyName "Any" .
