Users Upgrading to OnePager Version 8.0 from Previous OnePager Versions

These instructions apply for current OnePager users Activating OnePager Pro, OnePager Express, and OnePager Bundle licenses for Version 8.0. The illustrations found in this section are based on OnePager Bundle but apply equally to all OnePager editions.

If you are a user of OnePager versions prior to Version 8.0 you are required to re-key your license by requesting a OnePager Version 8.0 license key from our website. After installing Version 8.0 on your computer using the standard installation procedure, you will be presented with this screen:

There are two options available for re-keying your OnePager Version 8.0 license: (1) Re-Key Now and (2) Snooze.

Re-Key Now Option - OnePager

To re-key your OnePager Version 8.0 license on your first launch access to OnePager Version 8.0, follow the instructions in the above form, click the Re-Key Now button to be taken to the OnePager.com website where a OnePager Version 8.0 Replacement Key is provided.

Return to the above form and click the Next button which takes you to the OnePager License form shown below:

Follow the instructions in the form and paste the Replacement Key in the License Key: in the above form and click the Close button. When the OnePager license form closes you are ready to use OnePager in the NEW, UPDATE, or OPEN modes.

If, however, you close the above form without re-keying you do have access to OnePager Version 8.0 on a fifteen (15) day trial basis as indicated at the bottom of the OnePager Start form.

Snooze Option - OnePager

If you selected the Snooze option from the OnePager Message form, you are provided with a fifteen (15) day trial license to OnePager Version 8.0. Clicking the Snooze button also takes you to the OnePager Start form. You can continue to use OnePager Version 8.0 with the trial license until the fifteen (15) day trial period expires. Each day during the trial period OnePager Version 8.0 will ask you if you want to Re-Key Now. You have the option to do so by clicking the Re-Key Now button or continue on with the trial license by clicking the Snooze button. Two days before the trial license period ends another OnePager Message appears when OnePager Version 8.0 is launched as shown below:

Using the form's Re-Key Now button you can request a Replacement Key at this point as described above. The Snooze button remains enabled so you can click the Snooze button to continue using OnePager Version 8.0 on this day. Clicking the Next button allows you to use your trial license for OnePager Version 8.0 for one more day. If, however, you close the above form without re-keying you do have access to OnePager Version 8.0 for two (2) day more as indicated at the bottom of the OnePager Start form. If you need assistance, please contact the OnePager License Department at Contact Us.

With one day remaining in your trial period, launching OnePager Version 8.0 causes this OnePager Message form to appear as shown below:

It is recommended that you use the Re-Key Now option button and complete the Replacement Key process. However, you can still use OnePager Version 8.0 throughout the day by clicking the Snooze button on the form.

On the last day of the trial period, launching OnePager Version 8.0 causes this final OnePager Message form to appear as shown here:

The intent of this message is to advise you that this is the last day of the fifteen (15) day trial period and that OnePager Version 8.0 will be locked and unavailable for you to use if you do not obtain a OnePager Version 8.0 Replacement Key before the end of the day. If, however, you click the Next button the above form without re-keying you do have access to OnePager Version 8.0 for one (1) more day as indicated at the bottom of the OnePager Start form.

Although the above form provides instructions on how to revert and save your work should you not choose to upgrade to OnePager Version 8.0, we recommend that you click the Re-Key Now button to continue using OnePager Version 8.0. At this point, the Snooze option is not available. After the fifteen (15) trial period has expired and you attempt to launch OnePager Version 8.0, the OnePager Message form shown below appears:

The form above notifies you that OnePager Version 8.0 is not available for you to use. You may click the Re-Key Now button to obtain your Replacement Key as described above or you can uninstall OnePager Version 8.0 and install the version of OnePager you purchased. When you complete the re-keying process you do have access to OnePager Version 8.0 as indicated at the bottom of the OnePager Start form shown here:

About Your OnePager License

These instructions for new users of OnePager apply to those users Activating OnePager Pro, OnePager Express, and OnePager Bundle licenses. The illustrations found in this section are based on OnePager Bundle but apply equally to all OnePager editions. For example, OnePager Bundle includes an add-in to Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel, which automatically displays the OnePager icon once OnePager is installed. The icons on the Microsoft Excel tool bar looks like this:

To Activate your license, click on the OnePager icon button. This accesses the OnePager Bundle Start form shown below:

OnePager Bundle Licensing Form

Request OnePager Bundle License Key

Clicking the Request License Key button takes you to the Chronicle Graphics’ website (Request a License Key) where the installation code and product type are automatically filled in. The OnePager website’s Request a License Key page looks like this:

Enter your name, company, e-mail address, and Order Number. Your installation code is filled in for you along with the Product Name. Your Order Number can be found in the e-mail from which you downloaded the .zip file.

Specify your Reason for Request (New or Replacement key), then click the Request Key.

When you receive the email, simply copy (CTL+C) and paste (CTL+V) the License Key provided in the email into the License Key window of the OnePager license form, shown above, and click the “Activate License” button.

Request to Transfer a License to Another Computer or User

It may be necessary from time to time to transfer a OnePager Bundle license from a licensed computer to a new computer and/or new OnePager Bundle user.

If this is needed, please contact the OnePager Licensing Department at this email address: Licensing Department.

Special Situations - OnePager Installation Codes

Sometimes there are special environments where Chronicle Graphics’ automated licensing system cannot be accessed, making it necessary to manually copy the Installation Code into an email. In these situations it is often easy to confuse certain characters (e.g. the letter ‘l’ and the number ‘1’), resulting in an invalid Installation Code. To help mitigate this, we added a checkbox titled Use colors on look-alike characters. Checking this checkbox alters the appearance of the Installation Code as shown below:

As shown above, there is a legend next to the checkbox that helps you make sure you have the right characters when you are in this situation. When, despite the color coding, you email us an Installation Code that is invalid, we can use fuzzy logic processing to check for similar codes differing only by these look-alike characters. If we find a valid Installation Code, we email you the resulting License Key. Otherwise, we notify you that your Installation Code was invalid for other reasons and help you resolve the issue. As an added support measure, we upgraded to our licensing system to support computers that have the FIPS algorithm policy enabled.

OnePager Standalone Applications

The OnePager Standalone applications use the same methodology to Activate a valid Installation Code as does the Add-in applications.
