I have purchased a licence but the program is running in Demonstration Mode..
This will be because you have not entered the activation code properly. Please follow the steps given in the email that was sent to you.
Calin Professional - How do I use a stored variable rate with a credit balance?.
Some stored variable rates are internally designated as applying only to debit balances. This means if you choose one of these when the balance is in credit (negative) the calculation will not work because the rate will be 0%.
The solution is to (a) enter the amount as a negative (b) choose the stored variable rate you want - but as the DEBIT rate (c) For the credit rate choose 'Same as debits'.
How to move Calin Professional to a new machine..
Moving your software to another machine is a matter of:
- Downloading and installing the software to the new machine.
- Entering your existing activation code.
- Moving any files you've created across.
For steps 1 and 2, re-follow the instructions given to you when you purchased your licence. Note - the installation instructions will have given you a direct download-link - you do not have to go via the slower downloader-registration procedure on the website.
Step 3 - Data Migration/Backup.
After installing your software on a new machine you may want to move your data (i.e. calculation files and any custom rates files) files as well.
You need to copy the files from their location on the old machine to their location on the new one. Note - the default locations will be different on XP versus Vista/Win 7 systems.
You may have been saving these in a location of your choice in which case you will know where they are already - but if you have been letting Calin save them to the default location you may not. Here's how to find them.
Calin has a default location for saving these, so it just a matter of finding them and moving them to the corresponding location on the new machine.
If you start Calin on each machine then you can find the exact file locations through the help menu. Note - this requires a relatively up-to-date version of Calin:
Help | Problem solving | Show file locations
Look for 'My calculations' and 'My rates'.
Alternatively, see if you can find them in these usual locations:
Calculation filesWindows XP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\[User Name]\APPLICATION DATA\LAWTECH\LTA\C4P\DATA\
Vista/Win 7
C:\USERS\[User Name]\APPDATA\ROAMING\LAWTECH\LTA\C4P\DATA\

Calin Professional: Screen display problem.
Issue: When the program starts it immediately minimises to the taskbar and refuses to be seen. This may have occured in earlier versions if the program was minimised when the computer was shutdown.
In versions from V5.1.4.24 this situation is automatically detected, but if there is still a problem then hold the Ctrl key down while the program starts to enter Safe-Mode. If you don't have the latest version then download from here.
Download warnings with IE9+ and Norton Antivirus.
If you are using Symantic/Norton Antivirus with Windows, it may misleadingly say that the download contains a virus. The so called "virus" is potentially-defamatory with the name "WS.Reputation.1" which simply means that this is not a numerously downloaded program. You can read more about this behavior on this page, and you may want to consider something less counterproductive and free, as you could well be deprived of access to many valid internet resources in the future.
You may not be able to download the file at all if you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 9+. IE9+ may claim the file is "not commonly downloaded". As this is a niche product, and as the executable is frequently updated to a new versioned filename, it will never be downloaded as often as say, Microsoft files. If IE9+ refuses to download it then you can either work around this misguided behavior, or use a less obstructive browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
Most importantly, please tell us, so we contact the AV service and have the build white-listed. That can be as quick as a few hours - or longer depending on the company. Once they have updated their definitions file you will no longer receive the warning message.
Vista & Windows 7/8 Issues.
A. If the installer fails when you choose to create shortcuts for "All Users" then try again choosing "Current User Only".
B. Once installed you need to configure the compatibility mode for the program. Either right-click on the program's icon, or locate the installation directory and right click on the .exe file. Select "Properties" from the ensuing menu. Then select the Compatibility tab. Finally, select: "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and choose "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)".
Activation code doesn't seem to work.
1. The activation code consists of a series of alphanumeric characters surrounded by curly braces - eg {abcdef12345}. The important point is that the braces form part of the code. If you try to enter the code without the braces then the code will not work.
2. The program accesses the activation code from the Windows Clipboard - that is the name of the memory space where things are stored when you copy something using Ctrl+C. The activation code is read when you click the Update Licence button, but you must copy the activation code (including braces) immediately before doing that. If there are intervening tasks, eg starting or using a different program, then the activation code might get lost.
Calin Basic V3.7.0 If you have upgraded Calin Basic to V3.7.0 or later then old activation codes might not work. Ask us for an updated one if that happens.
