SNMP-Probe is distributed over the internet as shareware. This means that a 10 day trial period is offered free of charge. When you open the program for the first time SNMP-Probe will need to be supplied with a trial license. This can be obtained at the www.snmp-probe.com web site. The program will offer the option to open your default browser at the required page. All licenses are tied to a specific computer. This is done by creating a number that is unique to the computer and attaching the license to this number. If the web pages are opened from the program then this number will be passed automatically. If you open the site manually you will need to copy the identifier from the License window in SNMP-Probe to the web site. Once the Trial Page has the Identifier it will offer the Trial License Code and the Trial End Date. Both must be copied exactly from the web page onto SNMP-Probe's License window. The email address is not required for the trial license and must be left bank.
At the end of the Trial period the program will no longer allow itself to be used unless a Purchased License Code is entered. If you have used up your trial period then the License window will appear as the program starts. If you wish to purchase the product before the end of the trial period you will find the same window by clicking on License under the File menu.
A license can be purchased from www.snmp-probe.com. You will be required to specify an email address and the Computer Identifier. The License window shows the Computer Identifier under the Request License section. Alternatively you can click on the link in License window. This link will feed the identifier to the site, eliminating the need for you to enter it manually.
Once the purchase has taken place you will be emailed the License Code to the Email Address you specified on the web site. The code and your email address will have to be entered on the License window in the License Capture section. Once a valid code has been entered the windows OK button will become enabled. It is recommended that you copy and paste the Code and the Email Address as they have to be exact.
