Questions and Answers

How can I register any of XP Home Tools?

All registration actions are performed by Plimus. There are several ways to register:

1. This is preferred way. First you will need to install and evaluate the software, so you will be sure that it does what you need. Then just click "Order NOW!" button on the registration dialog. It will bring you to the registration form on Plimus, MachineID will be pre-filled with ID of your current system. All you will need to do is fill the rest of the form and submit it.

2. Click "Register Your Copy of ..." link on this web site (main page or product description page). It lead to the same registration form, but you will need to paste MachineID manually.

3. Go to the Plimus shop. Please make sure that you have selected correct software to register here. Each tool has own registration algorythm, so if you will purchase wrong software, you serial number will not work.

I have installed Permissions Manager. So where is it?

Permissions Manager is implemented as an extension for the Windows Shell (Explorer). If you right click a file or a folder in the Explorer window, you will see context menu. Select "Properties" in the menu. It will bring up a dialog with several tabs. On of these tabs will be titled "Easy Security" or "Easy Security (View)". This is it.

There is also Control Panel applet named "Permissions Manager". It serves for changing settings, modifying presets and registering the software. Just open the Control Panel, you will find it.

Can not register the software. It says "Sorry, this serial number is not valid, or you have not enough permissions to access registry."

There are several conditions required for successful saving of the registration information:

1. You must be logged on as Administrator (or other account with administrative permissions).
2. There must be no leading or trailing spaces in the serial number input control.
3. On Vista UAC must not be set to "silent" mode.

If you are running Vista, and you have default setting for UAC, Permissions Manager will ask for raising privileges while it will be saving registration information. It is OK.

What is MachineID and where can I get it?

MachineID is identifier of your current instance of Windows. It looks like this: 76455-OEM-0011903-00581.

MachineID can be found in the software's registration dialog. So please do not try to register before installing the software.

I have reinstalled Windows and can not register the software.

Please contact our support. Do not forget to specify your order ID (provided by Plimus during registration), your current machineID and your registration e-mail.

How can I uninstall your software?

Just open Control Panel, select Add/Remove software applet, find the software in the list, click "Uninstall".
