Details
Wordfast Classic version 5.92 and earlier displayed an install number (computed by Wordfast) and a license number (entered by the user). These numbers were displayed in the '?' tab, as shown here:
Starting with version 6 of Wordfast Classic, the install and license numbers are no longer displayed in the '?' tab. Instead, the following message is displayed:
Licensed to [your_truncated_address] – installed x time(s)
as shown here:
Please note that Wordfast still uses install and license numbers: these numbers are stored in file wordfast.cfg, located in the same folder as wordfast.dot. The install number is computed by Wordfast, as in earlier versions of Wordfast. The license number is automatically fetched by Wordfast from www.wordfast.net, which is a new feature introduced in version 6. The aim of this change is to eliminate the risk of using an incorrect license number, which frustrated lots of users and caused unnecessary burden on the Wordfast Hotline.
Licensed to [my address] – installed 4 times
Problem: The following warning is displayed in the '?’ tab of Wordfast Classic 6 and later:
