anthony_marsland Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Hi, I have upgraded my Railmaster to pro and have a new code, but I cannot work out how and where to input this code.It's probably obvious, but I am a little old and my computer skils are lacking somewhat.Would be grateful for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Go to the RM Help screen and you'll find your main RM activation code there. Just add your ProPack code to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 You may find that having input your PRO code it does not appear to have been accepted.Just close RM and restart, then you should see the PRO splash screen at startup and both codes will appear in the screen FIshy spoke of.How to upgrade to Pro is in the manual which most people never bother to read properly.

Fishmanoz Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 All I found in the manual was a brief mention on page 7, less than we've posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Page 129 Deactivation talks a little bit to licence keys but nothing of much use. You kind of have to work it out yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDS Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Last October, I tried to gather some support for changes that we might like to see to the RM Manual.Unfortunately, only RAF96 responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitter Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi to all, am I wrong, I could not find out where to enter it , and we eventually found it in the Rm set up box ( top l/ hand corner ) then open loco detection and it's on the lower 1/2 of page. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I too am fairly certain that is the RM window where you enter the ProPack code. It does seem to be rather poorly thought out to put it on the 'Loco Detection' page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitter Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi Chris , I agree, but that's where it lives. I've just went back up to the loft and double checked, and as the other lads say, once you have entered it , shut down, and restart , and you in , Hugh.

Fishmanoz Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 That's really weird because I looked at the Setup tabs in the manual when I first went looking for the answer, some little memory in the back of the brain thought it was somewhere there. But when you look at the Loco Detection tab on page 26 of the manual, it's not there. Maybe it's only triggered when you buy the Pro licence in the Help window?

Chrissaf Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 The graphic in the manual on page 26, obviously hasn't been updated with the later version of RM. I have just fired up my NON ProPack (standard) version of RM, and sure enough on the 'Loco Detection' tab there is a ProPack key entry box. In fact the presentation on my RM screen is different in other ways too, compared to that reproduced in the manual for the 'Loco Detection' tab.

Gitter Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I've been wondering if L.D. was origionally intended to be part of Rm Pro package , and with the L.D. problems they decided to release a lesser package to generate some revenue. hence, that is why it ended up in this odd location.

Chrissaf Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I had a similar thought after I had already clicked the save button on my original post. Had the EDIT button been working I would have added a similar comment to it at the time of posting. It is the only logical assumption to make.

Fishmanoz Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 As it's not the only thing in a weird place, my conclusion was it is there as they had the real estate in the window to fit it in here, and not elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
