==I selected Help | Register Software, but don't see my Computer Code==
Chances are you are running the free "demo" version of Win-Test 4.  This version cannot be registered.  Download and install the official version from [http://download.win-test.com/v4/bin The Official Version 4 Download Site] (password required).

==When I attempt to download Win-Test 4 the web site asks for a login and password.  What should I use?==
Your '''login''' is usually your '''callsign'''.

Both your '''login''' and '''password''' are located in the "Win-Test Upgrade" or "Win-Test Purchase" email that you should have received when you purchased or upgraded to Version 4 (including free automatic upgrades).  Look for an email:
 From: '''robot@win-test.com''' 
 Subject:  '''Win-Test V4 Free Upgrade'''
 -or-
 Subject:  '''Achat de Win-Test - Win-Test purchase'''
or similar.

If you can't find the email with your unique web site password, you will need to send an email to F5HRY or F6FVY including your:
* Account Number
* Callsign
* Email address used at time of purchase/upgrade
* Your new email address if any

==I requested a new registration key but I never received an email with the key==
First, check your "Spam" folder, if any. Look for an email:
 From: '''robot@win-test.com''' 
 Subject:  '''Code de validation de Win-Test - Win-Test registration key'''

Next, please note that registration keys are sent to the '''email address you provided when you first purchased Win-Test'''.  If you no longer have access to this email address, you will need to send an email to F5HRY or F6FVY including your:
* Account Number
* Callsign
* Old email address
* New email address

Due to security changes made by many email service providers (Google "DMARC policy"), registration keys sent by the Win-Test robot to '''the following email domains will be discarded automatically''', without any warning or notification:

* aol.com
* att.net
* comcast.net
* kolumbus.fi
* prodigy.net
* sbcglobal.net
* talktalk.net
* yahoo.com
* ymail.com

If your registered email address is at one of these domains, contact F5HRY to have your registered email address changed to another domain that still works, such as a Gmail account (gmail.com).

==Win-Test always starts in "Demo" mode==
Note:  Unlike Win-Test Version 3, the [http://download.win-test.com/v4/demo/ free demo version] of Win-Test version 4, and the [http://download.win-test.com/v4/freeware/ free DXpedition version] cannot be registered or "activated"; the full version, which runs in demo mode until it registered via [[Menu:Help#Register_software| Help | Register Software]], is a different file.  It must be downloaded from the [http://download.win-test.com/v4/bin password-protected download site] (see above if you don't have the password).

Every PC has a unique 13-digit '''computer code''' (XXX-XXXX-XXXXXX) and every PC needs a unique 25-digit '''registration key''' (XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX).

The registration keys for Win-Test Version 3 and Win-Test Version 4 are different.  Even if you never purchased or installed Win-Test Version 4, you may have received a "free upgrade" email, especially if your purchased Win-Test Version 3 ''after'' '''June, 2008'''.  If you received such an email, you are automatically going to receive only Version 4 registration keys when you request a key from the [http://www.win-test.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=1870 Win-Test Registration Page].  Such keys ''do not work'' on Win-Test Version 3, though no error message is displayed.  If you still require a Win-Test Version 3 registration key, you will need to request one by sending an email to F5HRY or F6FVY including your:
* Account Number
* Callsign
* Computer Code
Users who have not received a free upgrade to Version 4 and have not purchased an upgrade to Version 4 will still receive Version 3 registration keys from the web site.

==My virus scanner reports that Win-Test is a virus!==
This is probably a false alarm, especially if you downloaded and installed Win-Test from the [http://download.win-test.com Official Win-Test download site].

Many virus scanners are especially prone to falsely reporting the "Artemis" or "Themida" virus in Win-Test Version 4, due to the way the executable is constructed.

You can always upload '''wt.exe''' to [http://www.virustotal.com VirusTotal.com] to test it with multiple scanners.  If less than 25% of the virus scanners report an issue, it is likely that Win-Test is ''not infected'', and you will need to add an "exception" to your antivirus software to allow Win-Test to run.
