Online Help: PdaBrew Guide Registration

How to input Registration Key to unlock the PdaBrew Guide

The PdaBrew Guide provides a full-functional, free demo for a limited time period. During the demo period, the guide is 100% functional with all features and data available. When the free demo period ends, you must input a Registration Key to unlock the Guide for further use. Once unlocked, the guide is permanently enabled; there is no future expiration date. Free updates are provided to registered users here on the ChoiceWay Media web site.

Registering PdaBrew and ChoiceWay City Guides on PocketPC Devices.

  1. If you did not buy a Registration Key when you downloaded the ChoiceWay Guide, you can purchase a key here or from an affiliated vendor including Handango (www.handango.com). When you purchase a key on this site you will get an immediate key while you are on-line, plus you will receive a confirming email. Other vendors also provide "real-time" (instant) keys, but in some cases, an email with the key will be sent later (usually within 24 hours of purchase).
  2. When you have your key, start the program on the PocketPC. You should see a screen like the first one shown below, or you will see a demo expired message.
  3. Tap the register "button" to begin the registration process. (If you are already using the program, you can go to the help menu and select register to begin the process.)
  4. When the registration screen appears, tap the keyboard icon at the lower right of the device screen to access the "popup" keyboard.
  5. After the keyboard appears, scroll the PocketPC screen down so you can again see the box for the key.
  6. Tap on the "keys" to input your registration key. The key should be five numeric digits. Leading zeros, if any, in the key must also be entered.
  7. Verify that the correct digits are showing on the registration screen and tap "Register" to finish.
  8. If you make a mistake entering the Key, you will see this screen. If you have a problem after re-entering the Key, the Key probably does not match the Palm User ID for this device. Check to verify that the Palm User shown on the registration screen matched the User Name you supplied at the time of purchase. If you are still having a problem email "support@choiceway.com"
  9. When you input a valid key, you will see the last screen.
  10. Tap OK to begin using the guide. The key will be saved and remembered, if you turn off your PocketPc or even if you reset the PocketPC.
  11. After registration, the ChoiceWay Guide will always start immediately on the "Home" page of the guide.
