Hi All, I am a licensed user of Protel 99 SE and have used it for a few years on several computers. Recently, I bought a new computer and tried to load my software on the machine. It will load but will not allow me to unlock the software. I know I,m doing it right, and the user codes are right I've had the software for several years. To make sure my computer wasn't faulty, I tried to load the software on a second Win XP machine in the lab.
Convert OrCad386 to Protel99SE or PADS Flow - Protel Design Explorer. I am using Design Explorer SE99 SP6 with windows XP SP3 (I think). Anyone has used this software in windows VISTA, I try to install the protel 99SE and it fuck all.
I had the same problem. I believe the SW disk has been damaged and no longer loads properly. Perhaps having Trend Micro Antivirus and Webroot spyware Sweep is just too much. Has anyone had this problem? Can I get or download a replacement copy? Can't seem to find any help from ALtium. Thanks, Fred Regards, Fred Sprague PMR, Inc 607 West Broadway Ave Faifield Iowa 52556 (641)469-5507.
Fred, While this particular problem is not familiar, there is an overall familiarity to your current plight. Are you knowledgable of the 'full-clean-uninstall' procedure for P99SE?
Flash card belajar membaca huruf hijaiyah. The current state that you find yourself in sounds like it could, just possibly, be related to some DLLs that the normal uninstall does not remove. Here is copy of the clean uninstall procedure. The *.BPL or *.DPL files number approx. You are looking for CSRTL50.bpl, ProtelComponents50.bpl, vcl50.bpl, vcldb50.bpl, vclx50.bpl, CSRTL.dpl, ProtelComponents.dpl, vcl30.dpl, VCLDB30.DPL, and VCLX30.DPL.
Usually, some are removed by the uninstall but not all.) Version # Protel 99SE/ Service Pack 6: PROBLEM: Is there a specific uninstall procedure for Protel? I have uninstalled and reinstalled using add and/remove programs but Protel is still acting up. SOLUTION: 1) Un-install Service Pack 6 for 99SE 2) Un-install 99SE 3) Delete the Design Explorer 99 SE directory (make sure you have no personal files or libraries stored here before you do this).
4) Delete the files *99SE.* from your Windows or Winnt folder 5) Also delete from the Windows or Winnt folder *.bpl and *.dpl, if they are still remaining. 6) Re-install Protel 99 SE a) If Win 9x then Reboot 7) Re-apply Service Pack 6 a) If Win 9x Then Reboot. Fred, If your personal situation has not prevented you from doing so, have you tried reformatting the hard disk within the PC that you are having problems with? Doing that won't necessarily solve your problem (as there could be some aspect of the hard disk which is stopping the schematic server from unlocking, and which even a reformat might not fix), but if it is feasible for you to do that, it might still make a difference. I am fully aware that doing that would not be a trivial undertaking though, so something else which would be worthwhile for you to experiment with beforehand is generally 'experimenting' with the Client99SE.ini file contained within the Windows (/ WINNT / whatever) directory. Before you do anything else, make a backup copy of that file (and store that copy in some other folder), and then see what happens in various circumstances, such as totally deleting the file contained within the Windows directory (is it subsequently regenerated when you next start Protel 99 SE?), examining the details listed under the [Locks] section (probably located at the very end of that file, but search for it if it's not) and perhaps even editing the details which are listed there (and especially paying attention to the line which specifies the lock for the 'Sch' server). And another file in the same (Windows) directory which could also be worth similarly experimenting with (after once again making a backup copy of that file within another folder) is the AdvSch99SE.ini file (given that you have been experiencing problems with the schematic server).
He hasn't got eleven players and the ones he does have aren't the most motivated bunch of lads.
If you eventually do manage the unlock the schematic server again after experimenting with those files (and perhaps yet other Protel 99 SE related files also located within the same (Windows) directory), it is not out of the question that you would then need to 'recustomise' your copy of Protel 99 SE again, but that would still be a small price to pay to regain full functionality again. And as far as Altium's attitude is concerned, it's one thing for them to no longer provide support in the form of answering any questions about how to actually use Protel 99 SE, but it's quite another to provide no assistance to anyone who is experiencing problems with unlocking any of the servers. The license which you purchased is presumably of a permanent nature, and as such, there should be an ongoing obligation on their behalf to continue supporting any users who are experiencing such problems (assuming of course that such users actually possess a valid license). I'm not totally certain whether it's true, but I still think that it would be (technically) possible for them to issue you with another license number which would unlock *just* the schematic server (and on a permanent basis), and that you could simultaneously continue using the license number which they have already issued to you in order to unlock all of the other servers.
