This will be used if you are using you license on 2 separate computers and need an easy way to go back and forth. On both machines where you run MarketDelta, do these simple steps and you will never have to shuffle your license back and forth manually again.

Go to "Setup:Preferences:Keyboard Shortcuts" and setup a key, e.g. shift+F5 as a shortcut for “De-Activate License”.

Go to Setup | Schedules and create a new schedule, call it “De-activate and Quit”. Add two actions to this schedule.

(1) execute keyboard shortcut Shift+F5

(2) Pause for 10 seconds, and

(3) Quit.

Assign a shortcut key, F5 to the “De-activate and Quit” schedule.

Backup your Database.

Now, test the schedule on both machines. Just Press F5 and watch as the software deactivates the license, backs up the database and quits.

Start up MarketDelta again and you will notice that it starts up “De-activated”. If it’s not too much trouble, just click “Activate License” and off you go again. But if you want to further automate the reactivation of your license each time you start the program, then create a file named configure.txt. This file can be opened and modified by clicking File | Open | Configuration File. Add the line:

CheckLicenseAtStartup = true 

This command tells MarketDelta to do a license activation at startup. If the software detects that your license is currently de-activated on the machine, it will attempt to activate the license code that you last used on the machine.

With these two simple setups, you can run the software in two locations with no license shuffle steps needed. When you are ready to leave one location, instead of doing "File:Quit", you just press F5 and walk away. When you arrive at the new location, you just startup MarketDelta and it will activate automatically.
