License Key Entry

Your License Key will comprise a Name and Registration Key and will look something like this:

Regname: Shermer High School
Regcode: 0123-4567-89AB-CDEF

Use this key to register DreamCalc by clicking "Help→Enter License Key" from the main menu. You will be prompted with the key entry window (see below). Copy and paste your license Name and Key strings into the corresponding boxes and click OK.

License Key

Once DreamCalc accepts your License Key, all reminder messages will be disabled permanently and all restrictions unlocked. Your software will now be registered.

Frequently Asked Questions

I've Lost my License Key

If you have previously purchased DreamCalc, but have lost your license key, visit RegNow Support.

I Haven't Received my License Key

It may take up to 24 hours for you to receive your license key. If you have not received it after this time, contact RegNow Support directly.

IMPORTANT: Your license key email will be sent by an automated payment server. If your email address is linked to a service which challenges the sender to register with that service before allowing the email to be delivered, then this may be the reason why you have not received your key. In this case, see RegNow Support for your key details.

My License Key Doesn't Work

If you find that DreamCalc won't accept your key, please check the following:

  • Take a look at the Registration Screenshot above. Is this how you are entering your key? Both the Name and Registration Key sections must be entered exactly. Mistakes are best avoided by copying and pasting both key strings from your email, rather than typing them out.
  • Confirm that you have installed the same edition of DreamCalc as you the purchased the license key for. For example, the Professional Edition will not accept a Graphing Edition license key.
  • Check that your key is not for a much earlier version of DreamCalc. DreamCalc 4 won't accept version 1 or version 2 keys.
  • Additionally, there is a disasgreement between between how RegNow's license key generation software and DreamCalc interpret non-ascii characters. If your license name includes non-ascii letters, not to worry, simply email Technical Support (above) for a resolution.

If you are still having a problem, contact DreamCalc Technical Support (email address above).

DreamCalc won't run under Win 7 x64

This was an rarely occuring issue related to Data Execution Provention (DEP) which affected older versions of DreamCalc on Windows 7 x64 platforms where DEP is set to protect "All programs and services except those I select". In this case, nothing appears to happen when DreamCalc is launched and the program simply exits.

This bug affects DreamCalc versions DC4.7.2 and earlier. It was fixed in 4.7.3. To resolve this, simply update to the latest version.

Can I order DreamCalc on CD?

Yes. There is an additional charge for delivery, but it is optional.

My Screen only has 800x600 Resolution

But the requirements state I need 1024x768. Can I still run DreamCalc?

Yes, but rendering will be sub-optimal. DreamCalc will be forced to resize the main window small enough to fit your screen height, and some fonts will look poor. Most computers can display to a resolution of 1024x768 or better. If you can increase your resolution, simply do so. Typically, you can right-click on your desktop background and select "Properties".

If you are running with low screen resolution because it helps you to read characters, then there's a much better alternative. Increase your screen resolution to 1024x768 or higher, and increase your DPI setting to 120 or 144 DPI, or whatever suits. This will give you increased resolution with larger fonts. If you really must run DreamCalc with 800x600 resolution, it is suggested that you select a DreamCalc "Slimline Skin" as the main window will has a smaller height with these skins.

DreamCalc has Stopped Working

DreamCalc reports that it has been damaged and won't run.

If you see this, then your installation of DreamCalc has been corrupted. There are two common causes: 1. your disk has developed a fault, or 2. the DreamCalc application has been damaged by a virus. Please note that Big Angry Dog Ltd is not responsible for your computer maintenance, however, the following suggestions are provided for your information.

If you believe you may have a disk fault, run scan disk from Windows Explorer with the "Automatically Fix Errors" option checked. If you believe you may have a virus, you must first remove it by either installing or updating your anti-virus software. In both cases, you must re-install DreamCalc once the underlying issue has been resolved.
