        <h1>echoid and Wechoid - Obtains Computer’s Locking Code</h1>
        <p class="SFNT_Note">If your vendor 
 provided you a Computer ID key. This key must be installed before you 
 can produce a locking code. </p>
        <p>An application or License Manager may be restricted to operate on certain 
 computers. These restrictions are included in the license codes when they 
 are created.</p>
        <p>Before your vendor creates a license code with any computer restrictions, 
 you must get the locking code for your computer with the echoid program. 
 Your vendor will tell you which computers you must run echoid on. The 
 echoid utility outputs either one or two hexadecimal locking codes depending 
 upon how your vendor has configured it. You will send all locking information 
 to your vendor. Your vendor will use this information, which is specific 
 to your computers, to generate new license codes.</p>

                <p>Echoid sends the output to a console window. By default, you can send 
 new style locking code to your vendor, unless you have been asked to send 
 the old style locking code. </p>
                <p class="SFNT_Note">Old style locking codes are not displayed by the Wechoid for Windows Vista and 7 operating systems. </p>

                </p>
                <p>You can generate the locking code on a Windows computer by saying:</p>
                <p class="code">echoid &gt;lock.txt</p>
                <p>sends the locking code data to a text file named <span style="font-style: italic;">lock.txt</span> 
 in the directory from which you used echoid.</p>
                <p>Echoid can be run on supported versions of Windows 
 and UNIX. It can be executed from the operating system command prompt 
 by an administrative or application user on a stand-alone, client, or 
 License Manager computer. </p>

                <p class="SpacedPara2">The file <span style="font-style: italic;">echoid.dat</span> must be in the same directory

                <p>Wechoid is the windows interface of echoid (see the screenshot below). 
 Here are few notes to understand its interface:</p>
                <ul>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="1">When launched, the utility 
 shows the available lock criteria (a checkmark will be placed next to 
 them) and their values. </li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="2">The unavailable locking 
 criteria will be shown disabled. </li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="3">The Computer ID will 
 be enabled if a parallel/USB CID key is attached to your system.</li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="4">The Processor ID will 
 be enabled for Pentium 3 (or lower) processors. </li>
                    <li class="Numbered_Steps" value="5">The Standard Custom and/or 
 Extended Custom will be enabled only if the vendor has chosen them for 
 you.</li>
                </ul>
                <p>You need to pass the locking data value (both the lock selector and 
 locking data) to your vendor/developer. </p>
                <p>Again, you can send new style locking code to your vendor, unless you 
 have been asked to send the old style locking code. </p>
                <p>To copy the lock selector, place the cursor in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Selector</span> 
 field and then drag your mouse to highlight it. Copy it using the short-cut 
 menu shown on right-click. Similarly, copy the data from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Code</span> 
 field. &#160;</p>
                <p>We would recommend you to use wechoid as it is more simple and easy 
 to use.</p>
