First impression (not technical):
The unit arrived yesterday with DHL and there is the box with all pieces mentioned
in the offer. 3 pages showing a package list, how to do installation and a page containing
the "Product Warranty" where is also stated at the bottom, that the warranty is not valid
without the stamp of SD.
SD and their partner Computer Sience Labs react very quickly. I paid on friday and the unit
left on Saturday their office in Chengdu, Sichuan. I got the tracking # and followed that
package until it arrived. It left China on Monday - so only 3 days is perfect.
I find it a bit strange, that with a unique combination of hardware and software such a
complicated registering and activation is created.
To SD: You know your customers, why is that double proof necessary?
If someone wants to copy something it will happen - and sorry to say, the Chineese know that best
.... (perhaps thats why..)
At first I wanted to be clever and tried to open the manual (PDF) on the CD from SD. It did
not work with Fox-IT and not with Acrobat Reader 9. Only after installation one can open,
read and copy that file. It contains 36 pages where the first 21 explain the installation.
I could not go deeper into the product because after registering the reply with the activation
code did not come immediately. It seems to be done manually and so I had to wait the night
(time difference) for the reply. I received it this morning.
Unfortunately it is not explained how to proceed now, i.e. in which catalog one has to copy
the key file into. 21 pages for installation, but this info is missing...
So I wait now for the answer to my mail.
