This system allows the vender to distribute a copy of the PathAway software
along with maps encoded to an SD Card. An Auto Installer is provided so
PathAway can be installed when the card is inserted.
PathAway SDCardLock will encode maps so they can only be read from the
original SD Card. The map is locked to the SD Card's unique ID number.
To setup an SD Card, the SDCardKeyGen.exe must be run to create a registration
key for the card. This key is stored on the SD Card and read by PathAway
when it encounters a protected map.
In order to obtain the unique ID of an SD card, a Windows Mobile application
(SDCardKeyGen.exe) must be used to write encoding information to the card.
The encoding key is then returned. This key is used to encode the map.
The map encoding is done using the MapEncrypt PC console application.

This zip file contains the tool to request a PathAway regstration
key for the SD Card. Unzip this file and copy the SDCardKeyGen.exe
to the Pocket PC that will be used to create registered SD Cards.

key for the SD Card. If successful, the key will be recorded in
your vender account database for billing purposes. Each key you
generate will result in a unit product charge.
Once the key has been displayed, press "Save Config File".
This will write the key to the SD Card. The SD Card has now been
configured properly.
- Note: If you are encrypting maps on the SD Card you will
need to record this Registration key for use with the MapEncrypt.exe
program. The key is also stored in the config file \2577\PathAwayInstall.ini
- To generate a key for another card, then simply eject the card
and insert a new one. Then proceed to step 3.
