After installing WMS, it will need to be registered. Registration can be done with or without a hardware lock. Either way, a registration code must be provided. When WMS is first launched, the following dialogue box appears:
To register WMS you can choose the Enable button.
If you have purchased a license of WMS, your WMS vendor should have provided a registration code. Please enter this code in this dialogue. WMS will be automatically registered on-line (You must be connected to the Internet to register WMS. If you are not connected, please contact your vendor for instructions to register WMS off-line).
WMS has a free public domain version. The free version provides a Widows interface to build the files for HEC-1, TR-20, and the other basic hydrologic models. If you would like the public domain version, select the Public Domain button in the dialog. You will be connected to a web utility, and a valid registration code will be sent to you via email. Once you receive the registration code, enter it into the dialog box, and select register, the same as for paid licenses.
An evaluation version that is valid for 30-60 days may be requested by selecting the Evaluation button. As with the Public Domain Version, you will be connected to a web utility, and a valid registration code will be sent to you via email. Once you receive the registration code, enter it into the dialogue box, and select register. Once you have evaluated WMS, please contact your vendor with any questions or to purchase WMS.
Follow the instructions you received with the hardware lock to install the hardware lock and accompanying drivers. If you did not receive hardware lock instructions, or they have been misplaced, they can be found in the \Utils\Hwlock\Instructions directory on the CD. There are separate files for single user and network hardware locks. These files can be read using your web browser.
