APAS system registration FAQ:
I want to upgrade my computer to win98, does it affect my APAS system license ?
No! Just install the Win98 on top of your Win95.
I want to change my computer from FAT16 to a FAT32, does it affect the APAS
system license ?
Yes! You need to move the license registration to a floppy and make the switch
from FAT16 to FAT32. After the switch from FAT16 to FAT32 is complete re-install the APAS
system license to your computer.
Is the APAS system
Affected by Disk Defragmentation, Compression or Backup Utilities?
No, the APAS system is generally immune to
these sorts of programs. However, in the case of SpeedDisk, steps must sometimes be taken
in order to ensure that the APAS system licensing files (hidden system files) remain
unaffected. Move the License out of the computer and after the speeddisk utility reinstall
the License.
