ArrCab and FSUIPC

[Aravind]

Hi,

I have Fs2004 and arrcab freeware version. Does FSUIPC need registering in order to use arrcab?

Thanks

Has it been accredited? If it supplies an access key it will work without a registered FSUIPC, if not then it won't. If you don't want to try it to see, the author is the best person to tell you and also to apply for and supply a key if he feels that's right. With it going to payware now perhaps he wouldn't wish that? I don't know, ask him to contact me about it if necessary. I can offer access keys myself for non-maintained or otherwise abandoned freeware programs, but I cannot really deal with current programs except via the author or supplier.

Regards,

Pete

I get the message 'Program not accredited. Please see fsuipc.log for more info'. In the log file, I find the same information.

What does it mean?

It means the program is not accredited for running on a free version of FSUIPC. All programs need access keys unless you register FSUIPC. The author or supplier of programs can apply for access keys. A lot have done so already, some have not.

The author in this case, has not suppied the keys. Can you supply them? Thanks

Since this is still a live program, no, I cannot without his permission. Has he said this would be okay? Surely you haven't asked him already and got such a reply. Ask him to confirm it with me, I need some details in any case.

I really would far prefer it for the authors themselves to contact me, as most do. Then they can incorporate the keys in their programs or publish them in a read.me or FAQ on their websites. They are also in the best position to supply the information I need to make the key.

Otherwise, it would not be appropriate of me to bypass authors in the manner you suggest. I understand that this will be needed for defunct or unmaintained products in which the author has lost interest, but this is not the case here.
