Issue Resolution

I am unable to activate my software.
  • Ensure the computer has access to the Internet. If the computer has Internet access you are still not able to activate, check your firewall settings to ensure the EasyPower licensing server is not blocked. If no access is available, see Activating Your Software Offline.
  • Verify that the authentication code you are using is correct. It should be 25 characters long.
  • The device driver may be out of date.

    • You can download the device driver from the vendor knowledge base:

    In a client/server environment, you may need to install the drivers on both the server and the client computers.

I can't see data I've stored in a shared location on my network.

By default, EasyPower installs both software and data files to the local computer. If you want to share data, you must set up the folder where the data is located for sharing with read/write/modify permissions, and you must change the file locations for each computer within EasyPower to point to the shared location. File locations are found under Tools > Options > File Locations.

Note: Beginning with the 9.6 release, it is no longer necessary to share the program software from a single location. Each installation includes the standard program components needed to run the software locally.

See Sharing the EasyPower Data for more information.

If you still need assistance, contact technical support. Email and phone support is available to licensed users with a current maintenance plan and to users evaluating a demonstration copy of EasyPower. Call (503)655-5059 or email support@easypower.com.
