printing, an OMEGA shop can generate front office paper prints and customer proofs on a
system that is not dedicated to designing or outputting signs.
Before running in demo mode, OMEGA will always alert the user that the security key has been
removed or cannot be detected. A prompt is provided on screen that allows the user to re-check
for the security key, or run in demo mode.
Demo mode will start under the following conditions:
♦ If OMEGA is loaded and run without a security block. The demo mode message will
appear as soon as GSPTray begins upon system startup. Again, jobs cannot be
preserved in any way with the exception of paper printing.
♦ If the security block is removed from an OMEGA system that has been loaded and
running with a security block. The demo mode message will appear as soon as the
security key is removed. If the user wishes NOT to go into demo mode, they should be
sure the security key is properly installed, then click NO when prompted by the demo
mode message. OMEGA will search for the security key and resume normal operation
if the key is successfully found.
Returning to normal operation from Demo mode
If OMEGA is running in demo mode and the user wishes to return to normal operations with
an OMEGA security key, the user must close all OMEGA programs including GSPTray, install a
valid OMEGA security key, and then restart any OMEGA programs.
If a user attempts to load a newer version of OMEGA with an older security key, the install
program will prompt them for a password to upgrade. If the user chooses to load the newer
version of OMEGA over an older installation by removing the security key, then OMEGA will
load and run in Demo mode. An error message will occur if the older security key is reinstalled
on the newer OMEGA Demo mode system. OMEGA will not run with an older security key.
