About HourWorld's Display Sizes
The HourWorldTM software as downloaded (above) contains the maps and programming code to operate on five different monitor sizes up to 1280x1024 pixel resolution. The sizes supported are small (400x300), medium (VGA 640x480), large (SVGA 800x600), (XGA 1024x768), and SXGA (1280x1024).
As downloaded, without a registration key, HourWorldTM will operate as "HourWorldTM Lite", limited to the smallest display size, with some features limited. Larger sizes are included in the software, but operate in a demonstration mode until the copy is registered.
Two registration keys are available.
$35.00 - A full registration key key provides FIVE SIZES - enables full features plus all five sizes built into the software, for up to 1280x1024 monitors.
$15.00 - A "Lite Registration" key bypasses the startup "agree" screen, but does not expand the display.
Upgrade
Policy
If you
previously purchased a registration key for version 3.x.x, first
distributed in 2001, this is a
free upgrade to ensure that changes to time zone boundaries and DST
rules changes
are applied through 2009. The
new version should automatically detect your previous registration key
from version 3.3.0 or later. New version 3.3.3 uses a
changed database format, making it necessary to re-enter settings and
custom locations, when upgrading from versions 3.2.9 and earlier.
Upgrading should be automatic from versons 3.3.0 and later.
Upgrades to versions 1.x and 2.x are available from
Kagi.
If you prefer not to use Kagi to order an upgrade, send us an email or FAX with your delivery details. We will include an invoice with the registration key.
