Software Activation and Startup
NOTE: CoPilot Live won’t open on your Pocket PC unless map data has been
previously downloaded from the CoPilot desktop application.
To launch CoPilot Live, first turn on your Pocket PC and make sure the GPS
receiver is attached. Have your Product Key Code ready (this code can be
found on the cover of the printed Quick Start in the CoPilot CD case).
On your Pocket PC, tap the Start menu and choose CoPilot Live from the drop-
down menu. If you are using a CoPilot GPS receiver you will need to enter your
Product Key Code. If you are using a third party receiver, you will be asked to
activate your CoPilot software.
If You Are Using a CoPilot GPS Receiver:
If you are using a CoPilot GPS receiver, you will be prompted to enter your
Product Key Code on your Pocket PC. Enter your Product Key Code and
skip to Map Region Selection on p. 25.
If You Are Using a Third Party GPS Receiver:
If you are using a third party GPS receiver, you must activate your CoPilot
software in order to use it. The first time you open CoPilot Live on your Pocket
PC, the Activate screen will appear and you will be asked to activate the software.
For Automatic Activation, follow the on-screen instructions:
1) Synchronize your Pocket PC with your desktop/laptop computer via
ActiveSync.
2) Connect your desktop/laptop to the Internet.
3) Tap Next when ready and enter your e-mail address when prompted.
CoPilot Live will be activated within a few seconds. Tap Next to begin
using CoPilot.
4) If you purchased CoPilot with a single region license, you will be asked
to select a region. See p. 25 for details.
5) To configure your GPS receiver, see Step 6 on p. 24.
If you are unable to synchronize your Pocket PC with your desktop/laptop but have
internet access, you can Activate Manually as follows:
1) On your Pocket PC, check Activate Manually and tap Next.
2) Type in your Product Key Code where indicated and tap Next. The
following screen displays your License Number.
3) On your desktop/laptop, connect to the internet and browse to
http://activate.alk.com. Type in your Product Key Code, License
Number, and E-mail Address where indicated and click Submit. Your
Activation Code will immediately be e-mailed to you.
4) On your Pocket PC, type in your Activation Code where indicated and
tap Activate. CoPilot will launch upon activation.
5) If you purchased CoPilot with a single region license, you will be asked to
select a region. See p. 25 for details.
6) To configure your receiver, select Options from CoPilot’s Tools menu.
Then select the GPS tab (bottom) and tap on Auto Scan. CoPilot will
scan all COM Port and Baud Rate settings until it finds your GPS receiver.
Deactivation and License Update:
If you’re planning to uninstall CoPilot Live from one Pocket device and install the
same version on another device, you need to deactivate the software on the first
device before installing it again. To do this, open CoPilot on your Pocket PC, tap
the Tools menu, then tap Update License. Then tap Deactivate in the License
Manager. Your Pocket PC must be synchronized for the deactivation process to take
effect. When you re-install CoPilot Live on another device, you will be asked to
activate it again.
Similarly, if you purchased CoPilot with a single region license and later want to use
street maps from other regions, you will need to purchase an update license from
your dealer and activate the new license.
