These pages are:

When you get this error message, it means that your Registration code is not matching the one in our database. There are several causes for this message; 1) It has been typed in incorrectly, 2) You are trying to install a different version than the Registration Code was created for, 3) You are using a Registration Code created for a different product.

1. Use a USB Flash Drive (Memory Stick) and follow the directions below.
2. Connect the computer directly to the Internet long enough to Install the software. Make sure you don't have a Firewall blocking getting to the Internet.
3. Purchase a USB Flash Drive (Memory Stick) to plug into the computer to register your software. Remove the drive after registering.

If you have a USB Flash Drive (Memory Stick), you can set it as your A:\ drive.

NOTICE! You can use the same USB Memory Stick to install all MTU programs.

Set the drive letter for your USB Flash drive as the A: drive (Windows XP or 2000 only). USB drives change the assigned drive letter when you plug them in.

In Hoster, this can occur when upgrading versions 2.0xx or 2.2xx using the installation program Upgrade selection in version 3.108 and higher. We upgraded the software security because older versions had difficulties registering.

1. Run the Installation program and select Remove (not Update)
2. Restart the computer when requested
3. Make sure the computer is connected to the Internet, or follow the instructions for using a USB Flash Drive
4. Run the Installation program a second time

This is caused by a timeout in the Internet transfer from your computer to our server. To try this again do the following:

1. Click the Ok button.
2. Click the Back button.
3. Click Next to start the Transfer again. You may have to go through this process up to 10 times or more, during a bad connection.

1. Find your email from MTU.com when you bought Vogone. If it does not contain the Vogone Registration Code and Email, then go to My Store Account log in and scroll down to the page bottom to find your Vogone 3 Registration Code and Registration Email.
   
   NOTE: To get the latest version of Vogone to install, run Vogone, click the Help menu, then the About Vogone... command to see the version you are running. Close this dialog, then click the Help menu and the Check for Updates command. If your computer is connected to the Internet, a page appears with a DOWNLOAD button with instructions about which version this is and if you can upgrade over your version, or you need to buy a new Registration Code. If you can upgrade, click the button. In the Windows "Download dialog", select to SAVE the file to your hard drive (do NOT click RUN), select a folder on your computer where you can find this file, and continue the download.
   
   WARNING: SAVE THIS FILE TO A CDROM so you will have it in the future. The MTU web site only provides the latest versions to Download. You can also purchase a CDEROM from MTU with the latest version of all MTU programs on it, along with their Demo versions you can test.
2. Use the Windows Explorer program to find the Vogone3xxxsetup.exe file downloaded to your computer, or on the CDROM if you purchased that option.
   
   If you cannot find it:
   
   
   • Click the Tools menu > Find command > Find Files and Folders command.
   • In the Named: field, enter Vogone3xxxsetup.exe (replace the xxxx with the actual version number you are installing)
   • In the Look in: field, click the drop down list and select My Computer.
   • Click the Find button.
   • In the window below, double click on the filename to start installing.
3. You can install Vogone under the Administrator or any User on your computer.
4. Vogone 3.30 and higher installs on your C drive under the folder. Vogone 3.201 or lower installs on your C drive under the Program Files/Micro Technology Unlimited/Vogone folder. Do not change this, especially if you are installing on Windows Vista. The manual is written for this installation folder, MTU programs look for Vogone at this location to run it, and Vista will cause unending problems by moving your files to hidden folders.
5. Version 3.xxx requires a 3.0 Registration Code. You can get one by buying the full product or the Upgrade if you already have the full product. A Vogone 2.210 or prior Registration Code will not install Version 3.
   
   VERY IMPORTANT! When you run the Vogone Installation program, when the Registration page appears enter your new Registration Code, replacing the old Code that will appear.
6. Starting with version 3.30, you must be on-line to the Internet to install, even to select to Upgrade to a newer version when a prior version of Vogone is found. In prior verisons, if the version being installed has the same first two numbers (X.X), it allows upgrading without requiring Internet connection. If the first two digits are different, the prior version must be removed, then the new version can be installed by running the Installation program a SECOND time.
7. Read the License Agreement and click Yes if you agree. When you continue, you legally accept the terms and conditions of this agreement and are bound by them. You cannot install and use Vogone without agreeing to the License.
8. In the screen that requests your name and address, enter how we can contact you. If you have installed MTU product in 2006 or later, your name, address, Registration Code and Email are filled in for you. Any prior preferences such as colors, fonts, screen sizes and locations are also available and used by the new version.
9. When installing Vogone for the first time, when the Registration Email and Registration Code screen appears, enter these from your MTU Store Account, then click Next.
10. If your computer is on-line to the Internet, a progress message appears while your registration data is transmitted to the MTU.com web site. A dial-up connection will work as only a few hundred bytes are transmitted. Error messages appear while registering if something is wrong, explaining problems so you can make a correction and continue registering.
    
    
11. If your computer is not on-line and you are installing a 3.201 or earlier verion, the Install program detects this and leads you through creating a USB Memory Stick (Flash Drive) to register using a computer that is on-line.
    
    
    • After you select which to use, the Install program will show the message "Take the USB Memory Stick to another computer that is connected to the Internet".
      
      WARNING! you MUST press the Finish button in this screen before you remove the USB Memory Stick. Don't be in a hurry here or your Memory Stick will not register the software.
    • Insert the USB Memory Stick into a USB port in a computer connected to the Internet. Find and double click the Runme.exe file on the drive titled "Removable Drive". It will send the registration data to MTU.com. Error messages can appear if there are any problems. You can edit both the Registration Code and Email if they are entered wrong.
    • When the registration is done, a Thank You page appears. Continue to the end of the install screens and click Finish again, giving the USB Memory Sticktime to finish writing the data before you remove it from the computer.
    • Take the Memory Stick back to the computer where you are installing the software and insert it in a USB slot. Start the Installation program again. It will find the Memory Stick and jump to installing the software.
    • This Memory Stick can be used to install this version of the software, or free upgrades with the same X.X version number at any time. However, these cannot install this software on a different computer. Keep your Memory Stick in a safe place and identify which computer it works for. You can use the same memory stick to install other MTU programs on this same computer, once you have registered them with their own Registration Code(s).
12. When "Thank You for registering" appears, click the Finish button.
13. CONGRATULATIONS! Your software is installed and ready to use.
14. Double click the Software icon on the Windows Desktop to run the program.
