If you plan to use Geoplot on Windows 2000 or XP (or any system later than NT4) and you have a Geoplot licence protected with a hardware lock (dongle) then you will need to download new drivers from the Az-Tech website. Go to address :
http://www.az-tech.com/dnl.htm and download Azsetup.exe and Azsetup.txt. Azsetup.txt gives instructions on installing the new driver. Alternatively, you can swop the hardware lock for a software lock but please note that with a software lock will no longer be able to run DOS version 2.02.

If you have a software lock version of Geoplot and plan to run Geoplot on Windows XP or 2000 then it is advisable to transfer the authorisation from floppy disk 3 to the PC in Safe Mode to avoid potential conflicts with any other programs running on the system. Once the authorisation is transferred revert back to normal mode. Likewise, when transferring the authorisation from an XP or 2000 system back to floppy disk 3 it is advisable to use Safe Mode whilst doing this.
