HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Namir - 09-12-2011 Hi All, I just got my HP-15C LE. I installed the emulator. When I run it, it asks for a key code and says if the key code fails to click an Offline button. When can I find the key code? Also, clicking the Offline button does NOT resolve anything!! :-(

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - jweisskohl - 09-12-2011 There is a code on the CD. Try that. I just received mine too. Really nice that HP included the printed manual!

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Namir - 09-12-2011 Thanks Jerry! I copied the key code from the CD and activated the emumlator. I was surprised to see that the emulator has the PAUSE command bug too!!! :-(

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - M. Joury - 09-12-2011 Does the fact that we have to activate it mean that we can only install it on one computer? Cheers,

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Tim Wessman - 09-12-2011 No, it allows a few. It collects a tiny bit of info about the system, turns it into a hash, sends the hash, and then if you use the same computer in the future it will not use up another activation if the hash matches once already in use. TW

That's sign of a good emulator though!
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - M. Joury - 09-12-2011 Thanks for the info Tim. One more question: Can you uninstall it so that you recover the "use" (increment your available installs) or is it decrement only so that when I get rid of a computer I have lost one usable copy of the emulator? I ask because the machine I have sitting in from of me is an older laptop that has problems and will eventually (relatively soon) be replaced. Thanks,
-Marwan
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Tim Wessman - 09-12-2011 It doesn't "recover". However, I beleive you have 5 installs, so it shouldn't be an issue. And I can reset specific keys, or add allowable installs if needed.

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - M. Joury - 09-12-2011 Thank you Tim.

What about the self tests?
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Michael de Estrada - 09-12-2011 How do you simultaneously depress two virtual buttons ?
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Thomas Radtke - 09-12-2011 With any of the dual cursor hacks. But it's questionably weather the UI is emulated as good as other aspects apparently are ;-).
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - bill platt - 09-12-2011 I've been through 5 computers in the past 18 months....
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Mike Morrow - 09-12-2011 What about a touch-screen emulation? :-)
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Lode - 09-12-2011 Uh, so will this work in Wine in Linux, and will it work in 20 years in Wine on another emulated Linux or whatever computers are like in 20 years?
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 09-12-2011 If the emulator is based on the same code base as the 20b SDK, pressing two keys at the same time is not possible. I modified the code in the 34S to support shift hold sequences. Maybe HP has done a similar work on the (internal) 30b emulator which uses shift hold sequences.
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Tim Wessman - 09-12-2011 Dunno, and probably not.

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - robert rozee - 09-12-2011 that will be another CD that gets chucked in the trash then - code that phones home is not a welcome thing :-(

This might be necessary to change the radix mark (ON/.), unless there is another way to do so.
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Tim Wessman - 09-12-2011 It does once, and you can do it over a web browser instead. It never will check again. It will send a version code every 30 days and prompt you to download a new version if one is available, but only if you don't check to turn that off. But to each their own. TW

Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove - 09-12-2011 I remember having been able to do exactly that in the (no longer available) Nonpareil emulation of the 15C by using the shortcut keys and the mouse simultaneously. Since I do not have the HP emulation program for the 15C LE (yet), I don't know whether this might be a solution.
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Marcus von Cube, Germany - 09-12-2011 I've implemented two versions in WP 34S: Press and hold a keyboard key (f) and click the key on the virtual keyboard or right-click the virtual shift key to lock it down, click or press the key, unlock the virtual shift with another right-click.
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Bart (UK) - 09-13-2011 A type of DRM then. I limit my use of software/documents with any type of DRM, so use will be restricted to the physical device only.
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - bill platt - 09-13-2011 Please explain.
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - M. Joury - 09-13-2011 Hi Bill, Are you asking for an explanation of DRM? Or why someone would not use a DRM (or DRM-like) enabled product? DRM: Digital Rights Management-controlling the installation and use of software or distributed media. As for the reason why one wouldn't use a DRM enabled product... I am sure those of us that don't each have our own reasons but I for one will not buy any software that is DRM enabled if I can possibly help it. I always thought that Borland had the right idea with it's software (the book analogy)--install and use on multiple machines as long as you could guarantee that the same license would never be used on two different machines at the same time. I have around a dozen computers at home and all my installed software is purchased but I generally choose to go with companies that provide a home license option of some sort--one license for all machines in the house--as some companies are beginning to do now. Otherwise it will get ridiculously expensive for me to maintain my software. Just my 2 cents worth... Cheers,
-Marwan
Re: HP-15C LE Emulator Problem - Bart (UK) - 09-13-2011 In the stricktest application, it limits the use to one computer, e.g. SAE documnets: OT: DRM - Howard Owen - 09-13-2011 In addition to immediate practical concerns about DRM, there are theoretical issues too. For instance, GNU and FSF founder Richard Stallman has philosophical problems with DRM.
