Hi everyone,
I'm forwarding a message from one of the beta testers who is having a
problem with the RFB&D installation. I'm hoping that we can help each
other with the instructions here. Here's what Tommy has to say:
Hi Katie,
Well I don't know if I'm
just dense or what but I can't figure this out. When I run setuak.exe I
get the dialog box withe the set key button. I hit enter on this and I am
prompted for a name and key. I enter the same name and password I use to
log onto the RFBD page to order books. This is the only kind of code I
have. I also Tried using my member number and I always get a message
telling me that the user name is invalid.
I'm not fussing at you
guys but RFB&D is making this extremely difficult. Their Non
Disclosure form says the beta will end on January 6 and if they are
closed for the entire time of the beta then how are we supposed to
resolve problems. Sorry if I sound grumpy but this is very frustrating.
Tommy
Unfortunately, the activation process is not as intuitive as we'd
like. It's very important to follow the instructions on the beta web page
in the section called Activating Your BookCourier for RFB&D Files.
The Name and Key values that you need to enter into the SetUAK.exe
application must come from RFB&D's web site. You have to log into a
special part of their web site and then wait for them to give you the
values you need. I've copied the instructions from the web page and added
them to the end of this email. Please make sure that you perform every
step as outlined. If you continue to have installation problems, then we
can figure out whether the problem is with my instructions or with the
various codes and keys that RFB&D requires.
Regarding Tommy's other concern -- the end date for the beta on January
6, I agree that the timing doesn't make much sense considering that
RFB&D is unavailable until January 3. I'm sure we can extend the beta
cycle so that all the testers will have an opportunity to complete the
testing and provide us with meaningful feedback.
Thanks for your patience.
Katie
Activating Your BookCourier for RFB&D Files
1. Make sure your BookCourier is connected to your PC.
2. Insert the BookCourier Activation CD into your PC. Run the SetUAK.exe
on the CD. A dialog box called Registration Required will appear.
3. Click the Enter Key button. A new dialog will appear that requests
your name and a key. This dialog also lists an eight digit Hardware
Fingerprint that you will need to use later. (Do not attempt to fill
out this form until you have visited the RFB&D web site as outlined
in the following steps.)
4. Click the Visit Website button to access RFB&D's Digital Playback
Software Registration page.
5. On the registration page, enter your RFB&D Member ID and click the
Logon button. A second registration page will appear.
6. Follow the instructions on the second registration page. In step 1,
click the Register button associated with the BookCourier product. In
step 2, enter the Hardware Fingerprint number that appears on the Enter
Key dialog (described above). In step 3, click the Register button. A
third registration page will appear.
7. Copy and paste the Name and Key values from the third registration
page into the corresponding fields on the Enter Key dialog box. Click OK.
8. If the process is successful, a Key Valid message will appear. Click
the OK button to continue. A dialog box called Set UAK will appear.
9. The Set UAK dialog box will display the serial number of your
BookCourier. Click the SetUAK button to activate your BookCourier. If the
process is successful, a message will appear telling you so. Click the OK
button. Then click the Exit button on the SetUAK dialog.
Now you're ready to start transferring AudioPlus books to your
BookCourier. The Transfer Tool treats AudioPlus files like other DAISY
files except that the Transfer Tool will prompt you for your RFB&D
validation code before the transfer begins.

Hi Tommy,
Glad you got the installation CD. I believe that the RFB&D office is closed until January 3. However, it's possible that you are already set up on their web site for the installation even though they hadn't received the non-disclosure forms. If you have some AudioPlus titles at home, you might just try to do the installation. If it works, there's no reason you can't start listening to the titles you already have. Let me know how it goes. Also, you can send emails like this last one to the list in the future (bc-rfbd-beta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx).
Thanks,
Katie

Hi Katie,
Just thought I'd let you know that I got the disk. I sent the non disclosure form to RFB&D but haven't heard anything from them. I just left Stephanie a voicemail message, so hopefully I'll hear something soon.
