Hello group!
I have two types of (LEAGAL) Pick licenses dating back to the 90's.
They are AP/DOS and AP PRO. They are no longer installed on any
computer. Can I install any of the two and get an authorization number
from Raining Data? Will they charge me a fee to reinstall after so
many years?

I need to reinstall Pick to T-LOAD a file that is on 18 floppies. I
believe the T-DUMP was created on a R83 system or later. All I know is
that the OS was also Pick.

Thanks,
Peter

Diets,
I'm not sure what you are saying. I have PCs with floppies drives
running NT, XP, 98, DOS and Linux. I also have active versions of
Universe, Unidata and QM. (Unfortunately, none of these databases can
T-LOAD from an old Pick floppy).I don't need the actual floppy drive.
The floppies I'm trying to T-LOAD where Pick formated. This means that
there is no FAT (File Allocation Table) and XP Pro doen't read Pick
floppies.

Thanks,
Peter

Peter,

I'm not sure about the current status of AP/Pro activations since it was end
of life several years ago, but I can tell you that AP/Pro will install as a
1 user system that you can use for your project. There has to be one user in
order to activate the product. That one use will be the console.

He's saying you should be able to load D3NT (free single user trial),
t-load the data in, then get it out some other way.
"set-device type=floppy" (or just use device 0? 1?) to read your 5.25"
floppies.

Not that you need either version of AP for this task, but I don't
think RD has the ability to activate AP/DOS - AP/Pro may be doubtful
as well. Call RD Sales for rates and policies for activations.

I would suggest loading AP/DOS, as it came with enough users to accomplish
your task, was designed to run under windows (although I believe it's
16-bit) but should run. Try to load it on the oldest version of windows you
have. An old W95 box would be best.

Ap/Pro is it's own operating system and will require at least a partitian if
not the entire box which requires formatting, and I'm not certain AP/Pro
would understand some of our new gigabyte drives.

activation code that comes with it will re-install on any machine as well.

I managed to install AP/PRO on a new PC. It didn't ask for an
activation number. It's a 3 user lincence, but I only need one for my
project.

Man, is it fast on a 2.1 gig machine! I recall how slow it was back in
'96. anyway, I T-LOADed the 18 floppies. Now I need to install
Accuterm to create my text file. Life is good. Thanks all for the
help.
