AST PREMIUM EXEC 386SX-25 AND CARRIER CORP. SOFTWARE PROTECTION KEY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PROBLEM: When using the application "Building Supervisor III" from
|
||
|
|
Carrier Corp. on the Premium Exec 386SX-25, the application
|
||
|
|
will fail to load and display the error message "Access key
|
||
|
|
not attached!"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CAUSE: This problem is caused by an incompatibility between the
|
||
|
|
Carrier Corp. software protection key and the parallel port
|
||
|
|
implementation of the Premium Exec.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AFFECTED
|
||
|
|
SYSTEMS: Premium Exec 386SX-20 (All models)
|
||
|
|
Premium Exec 386SX-25 (All models)
|
||
|
|
Premium Exec 386SX-25C (All models)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SOLUTION: AST Sustaining Engineering has determined that this problem
|
||
|
|
will not be fixed on the Premium Exec. Carrier Corp. has
|
||
|
|
advised AST that a software patch may be available which eases
|
||
|
|
the timing requirements for accessing the security key.
|
||
|
|
Customers experiencing this problem should contact Carrier
|
||
|
|
Corp. and request the software patch for AST notebooks.
