Re: running Retrospect from a CD

[Tim David]

Sorry about the confusion.  I did pretty much the same thing you did (built a disk,
tested, then burned a CD from that)  If I entered the serial number on that disk
(while unlocked) when I try to launch from a locked disk is won't launch.  If I do
NOT enter the serial number, then it will launch but I have to enter the serial
number each time.  (same as you)  It works, I was just hoping for a way to run it
without having to enter the serial number each time.
Is it a security feature or something? It sure would be handy to be able to do
this.
I may even experiment with an Applescript that will open the app, then copy and
paste the serial number for me.
I'm willing to test any ideas you may have.

Re: running Retrospect from a CD

[Nick Scalise]

I'm not sure I understand your post below. You first say it will work but
have to enter a serial number, then you say it will not launch.

Anyway, how I got mine to work is I installed everything onto a Jaz cart,
booted from the Jaz to test, shutdown, locked the Jaz cart to simulate a CD
and booted again to test one more time.

I too have to enter a serial number everytime I run Retrospect from CD, but
I just created a folder on the CD with the serial number on it so that I
could copy and paste when the time comes. It's not elegant, but it works.

Maybe someone else out there could shed more light on the subject?

Re: running Retrospect from a CD

[Tim David]

So we tried it with version 4.3 and it still does not work.  Actually, it will work
if we don't enter the serial number but then we have to enter it each time we run
Retrospect. (kind of a pain)
What did you do to get it running on the CD?  I can't even get the app to launch.
let me know,
Tim

I am using version 4.2 but I'll upgrade to 4.3 and try it again.

Re: running Retrospect from a CD

[Nick Scalise]

I do it using Retro 4.3 on a bootable CD. I back up to a local tape drive,
but I do have AppleTalk on on the CD so backing up to a volume should work
also.

Time to upgrade. Looks like you're using an old version.
