Getting old is a PITA!

New PC, have all my old install exe files, purchase codes, lifejacket. 

But DOA as the old activehomepro_236.exe can't find server obviously, so will not let me even install the generic AHP.

Would someone mind helping an obviously feeble minded OF who relies on AHP?

Thanks.

https://www.x10.com/activehome.html  Page says out off stock but scroll down and you'll see the links.

or just use this:
http://www.authinx.com/software/SW31A/AHP_3.318.exe

[mike]

Thanks for that.  Got it back up and running.

But it acts different than last time I reinstalledmaybe a year ago:  none of my registration codes work (they all did before and just listed you or someone as the owner).   Is this the new norm?

[Tuicemen]

It is the new norm unless you saved the drive id of your old pc as well as your x10prod.sys file.
If you have that stuff you can register to you following the directions in the lifejacket about page

[mike]

Cool.  Sure I have that stuff, as well as my lifejacket - thanks again for doing that!  But if it works like before, I will just leave it as is.

Thanks again.

There is really only two reasons to use your info.
1: the registration shows registered to you or whoever it was registered prior.
2: if you had different plug ins that you wish to use that don't come with Lifejacket.
Performance wise it will work the same either way.

I changed some macros around today and tus discovered 'smart macros' is not installed.  I used Liefjacket to reinstall.  I have not noticed this before as I had no need to modify a macro triggered by a security device.  I notice smart macro missing as my security triggered macros still work but do not show trigger by security - just old triggered by normal A2 for instance.  A2 does nothing as they still respond to the security device, but I have no way to modify this without smart macro working.

Clues?

SmartMacros is installed with the AHP install however not registered.
if you used the default drive ID with LifeJacket but failed to check the smartmacro plugin or any of the default plugins you merely
need to edit the "ahp_plugin.xml" file located in the AHP folder.
here is what it would look like for Smartmacros and the security plugin.

Code: [Select]

<xml>
<plugin id="AHXAMO" href="ahp.dll" desc="Smartmacros plugin"/>
<plugin id="AHXHSS" href="ahp.dll" desc="OnAlert plugin" />
</xml>


[mike]

hmmm...    got them all as you show...

but no reference to smart macros when I open a new one.

[Tuicemen]

AHP doesn't display a macros as being a smartmacro or regular macro simply a macro.
If your able to add conditions to a macro then smartmacros is working .

[Tuicemen]

Looking closer I see the security option isn't displaying so Onalert isn't loading.
Do you have AHP installed else where on the PC too?

Yep, and getting old ain't for whimps.

I cannot add conditions to macros.

Ya, the security icon on bottom is gone too;  it was there a week or so ago...  I had it on old HD but that is offline right now...   I better see if there is some kind of old HD progr files directory stuff going on...

[Tuicemen]

I suspect you have AHP installed in two locations and the wrong one is loading.
How are you starting AHP, from a desktop short cut or from the AHP folder?
