Please refer to the detailed Installation Guides in the FAQ page for step-by-step instructions on how to use this dialog.
Even with the trial or "demo" version, you can fully use Win-Test. There is only a time restriction that randomly shuts down Win-Test, and exported logs (Cabrillo, Reg1Test) are limited to 50 QSOs.
To register Win-Test, after having purchased a licence, you just need to visit the Win-Test web pages and request a key code, by entering your customer account number and your system's Computer Code which is displayed in this dialog box.
A license key will be sent to you via email from the license robot. Just copy this key into the correct field and press OK. The limitations will then be disabled and when Win-Test starts up, you will no longer have to press keys 1, 2 or 3.
