Activation is an anti-piracy technology designed to authenticate PROMT software products. Upon activation, it is checked that the license number of the product is genuine and is used on the number of computers that does not exceed the number of computers allowed in the license.
Activation is a simple process that can be done online or by phone. In most cases, activation is required only once during the entire period of product use. In some cases, for example after reinstalling the program, you need to reactivate the program.
When activating online, data is exchanged between the user's computer and the PROMT activation server. If activation is performed by telephone, the user informs the PROMT technical support service about the product displayed in the PROMT Activation Wizard and then receives the activation code from PROMT. When activating by phone, the user provides product information from the Activation Wizard window to PROMT technical support service, and then receives an activation code from PROMT. The data transmitted and received in this case is used only for activation. The data collected during activation is not used to determine the identity of the user.

In enterprise networks it is convenient to automate the PROMT Agent installation to workstations.

In this section, the solution for mass installation of the PROMT Agent using the Active Directory group policy is suggested.

CAUTION:
Prior to application of this method it is necessary to install the following prerequisites to workstations:
  1. Windows Installer 3.1
  2. .NET Framework 4.0 or .NET Framework 4.5


Solution:
To install the PROMT Agent using the Active Directory group policy, perform the following actions:
  1. Save the self-unpacking archive containing the PROMT Agent distribution kit from the PROMT Agent section of the application server web page.
  2. Extract the self-unpacking archive contents to a shared directory using any archive program, for example WinRAR or 7-Zip.
  3. Open the Group Policy Management console: Execute->gpmc.msc
  4. Create a new object of the group policy and open it for editing.
  5. In the group policy editor open the Computer Configuration-> Windows Settings-> Scripts (Startup/Shutdown) section. Open Startup Properties window.
  6. In the Add a Script window, in the Script Name line: provide the UNC path to the PROMT Agent.msi file of the PROMT Agent installer (the path looks something like that:\\_name\_name\PROMT Agent.msi).
  7. In the Add a Script window, in the Script Parameters line, provide the necessary installation parameters:
    • / q – installation in the hidden mode; no messages will be shown (for Msiexec)
    • /i – installation or configuration
    • /s – installation in the hidden mode; no messages will be shown (for Setup.exe)
    • /v – parameter for the Msiexec transfer
    • PTA_CS – specifies the PTS server connection string
    • PTA_USEAUTH – sets the mode of authentication, possible values:True or False
    • PTA_PROXYADRSS – sets the mode of using a proxy, possible values:True or False
    • PTA_PROXYADRSS – sets the proxy address
    • PTA_AUTHLOGIN – sets the user name if the PTA_USEAUTH value is True
    • PTA_AUTHPSWD – sets the user password if the PTA_USEAUTH value is True
    • PTA_PROXYLOGIN – sets the user name for the server proxy
    • PTA_PROXYPSWD – sets the user password for the server proxy
    Some parameters can be set automatically.

    Example of string for installation using group policy and PROMT Agent.msi:

    /q PTA_CS="http://techw8serv09/AS/Services/v1/soap.svc" PTA_USEAUTH="true" PTA_AUTHLOGIN="user_login" PTA_AUTHPSWD="user_password" PTA_USEPROXY="true" PTA_PROXYADRSS="proxy.promt.ru:3128" PTA_PROXYLOGIN="user_login" PTA_PROXYPSWD="proxy_password"

    Example of string for installation using group policy and Setup.exe:

    /s /v"/q PTA_CS="http://techw8serv09/AS/Services/v1/soap.svc" PTA_USEAUTH="true" PTA_AUTHLOGIN="user_login" PTA_AUTHPSWD="user_password" PTA_USEPROXY="true" PTA_PROXYADRSS="proxy.promt.ru:3128" PTA_PROXYLOGIN="user_login" PTA_PROXYPSWD="proxy_password""
  8. Assign the created group policy object to the appropriate department.

After the specified procedures are completed, when the workstation included in the appropriate department is in the network, the PROMT Agent will be installed automatically.

Activation is an anti-piracy technology designed to authenticate PROMT software products. Upon activation, it is checked that the license number of the product is genuine and is used on the number of computers that does not exceed the number of computers allowed in the license.

Activation is a simple process that can be done over the Internet or over the phone. In most cases, activation is required to be performed only once for the entire time the product is used. In some cases, for example, after reinstalling the program, you need to reactivate the program.

When activated via the Internet, data is exchanged between the user's computer and the PROMT activation server. If activation is done over the phone, the user informs the PROMT technical support service about the product data displayed in the PROMT activation wizard, and then receives an activation code from PROMT. The data transmitted and received in this case are used only for activation. The data collected during activation is not used to determine the identity of the user.

Problem

Plug-ins Manager
Translation functions can be embedded using the following applications:
  • PROMT 9-10: PROMT Plug-ins Manager (Start -> Programs -> PROMT -> Your PROMT Product -> Launch Applications -> PROMT Plug-ins Manager)
  • PROMT 8-8.5 and earlier: PROMT Extensions Manager (Start -> Programs -> PROMT -> PROMT Extensions Manager)
In this article, the above applications are together referred to as PROMT Plug-ins Manager.

  2. Launch PROMT Plug-ins Manager and check the box next to Internet Explorer.
  3. Launch Internet Explorer.
  4. In the Internet Explorer toolbar area, the PROMT Translator toolbar will appear containing the translation functions.
Cause 2

  2. Check the box next to PROMT Translator.
  3. In the Internet Explorer toolbar area, the PROMT Translator toolbar will appear containing the translation functions.

  2. Make sure to enable all add-ins in the PROMT group:
    • PROMT Translator
    • PROMT IE Helper
    • Text translation
  3. If a PROMT add-in has the Disabled status, enable it by clicking the Enable button.
  4. Restart Internet Explorer.
  5. In the Internet Explorer toolbar area, the PROMT Translator toolbar will appear containing the translation functions.
Cause 4
Translation functions are embedded into Internet Explorer, but third-party browser extensions are not allowed in Internet Explorer.

Solution 4
To enable third-party browser extensions in Internet Explorer (by the example of Internet Explorer 8):
  1. In Internet Explorer, select Tools -> Internet Options.
  2. In the Advanced tab, check the box next to "Enable third-party browser extensions" in the Browsing group.
  3. Restart Internet Explorer.

Cause 6
You are using the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, but PROMT currently supports embeding the translation functions only into the 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer.

Solution 6
Launch the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer. The shortcut of the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer is called Internet Explorer in the Windows start menu and it does not contain the "(64-bit)" ending.

Problem
The "Application is already started" error message appears when the program is started.

Cause
This error can occur on pocket PCs with an OEM user interface shell which is started during device boot-up as a Windows Mobile application and completely replaces the standard Windows Mobile user interface. An example of OEM shell is TouchFlo on HTC devices.

Solution
Replace the executable file TrayTranslator.exe. To do this, either replace the installed file directly on the pocket PC or replace the file in the program distribution folder on the desktop PC and reinstall the program on the pocket PC.
Before using any method, download the pm7_fix_02.zip archive to the desktop computer and extract the TrayTranslator.exe file.

  2. Connect the pocket PC to the desktop computer (PC).
  3. From the PC, replace the TrayTranslator.exe file in the program installation folder on the pocket PC, for example, \Program Files\PROMT. To do this, you can use a file explorer which is included, for example, into the ActiveSync synchronization software. On some pocket PC models, you can use Windows Explorer for this purpose.
  4. Launch PROMT Translator on the pocket PC.

The second method (replace the file in the distribution folder and reinstall the product on the pocket PC):
  1. Connect the pocket PC to the desktop computer (PC).
  2. Run the product installer on the PC and uninstall PROMT Mobile 7 on the pocket PC.
  3. Save PROMT Mobile 7 distribution files to the hard disk:
    • For CD-based products: save the CD content to a temporary folder on the computer hard disk.
    • For products in the form of self-extracting archive: run WinZip or WinRar, open the PROMT Mobile 7 distribution file in the archiver and extract its content to a temporary folder on the computer hard disk.
  4. Overwrite the TrayTranslator.exe file to the distribution folder on the hard disk, for example, \RUSSIAN\PM7\ERRE\Pocket or \RUSSIAN\PM7\Giant\Pocket.
  5. Install PROMT Mobile 7 from the updated distribution folder stored on the PC hard disk.

Problem
When launching PROMT NET, the following error message appears: "You have no permission to run this application. Please contact the PROMT NET System Administrator".

Cause
Possible causes:
  • The user does not have permissions to start this application.
  • The license file was not loaded during initial server setup. Each PROMT NET delivery contains a license file which stores license restrictions according to your PROMT NET licensing agreement. The license file must be loaded to the PROMT NET server during PROMT NET server initial setup.
Solution
  1. In PROMT NET User Manager, check whether the user has permissions to run this application.
  2. Load the license file to the PROMT NET server using PROMT NET License Manager.
These operations are described in detail in the PROMT NET Administrator's Guide.

Problem
When launching a PROMT NET application, the following error message appears: "Error occurred while initializing the kernel of translation (0x80070721)".

Cause
Possible causes:
  • An incorrect PROMT NET server name is specified in the Server Login window.
  • The correct IP address of the PROMT NET server cannot be derived from its name due to, for example, changes in the server name or server IP address, or because of DNS faults.
  • There is no registration of the Service Principal Name for the account of the PROMT effective user – only for ÎÑ Windows Server 2008.
Solution
To eliminate this problem, try one of solutions provided below. In case of success, you do not need to try other solutions.
  1. Check whether the PROMT NET server name specified in the Server Login window is correct.
  2. Clear the local DNS cache on the computer using the ipconfig/flushdns command and make sure that the DNS service returns a correct IP address for the PROMT NET server on the computer where the error occurs using the nslookup utility.
  3. In the Server Login window, specify the actual IP address of the PROMT NET server.
  4. Fulfill registration of the Service Principal Name for the account of the PROMT effective user for all PROMT DCOM-servers (only for ÎÑ Windows Server 2008).

    For this, type the following command in the command line (run it with the domain administrator's rights):

    setspn –A DCOM_server/Server_name Domain_name\Account_name

    where:
    • DCOM_server – PNETSvr, PrmtSvr, prmedsvr;
    • Server_name – name of the NetBIOS server where PROMT NET is installed;
    • Domain_name – name of the Active Directory domain;
    • Account_name – name of the account of the PROMT effective user.

    For example: setspn –A PrmtSvr/testserver promt\p9service

    • Prmedsvr
    • PrmtDDB
    • PitmSvr
        On the Identity tab, "This user" must be selected and the PROMT NET effective user domain account with the correct password must be specified.
        On the Security tab in the "Launch and Activation Permissions" and Access Permissions groups, local and remote startup, activation, and access must be allowed for all PROMT NET users, as well as for the predefined SYSTEM and INTERACTIVE system users, and for the PROMT NET effective user.
  2. Check whether the PROMT NET effective user account is added to the Guests group on the PROMT NET server.
  3. Make sure that the PROMT NET effective user account has permissions to write to the folder specified by the TEMP environment variable on the PROMT NET server.
  4. Open the Local Security Policy on the PROMT NET server and make sure that the PROMT NET effective user account has the "Log on as a batch job" permission assigned.

Problem

When launching PROMT NET, the following error message appears: "You have no permission to access the PROMT NET server. Please contact the System Administrator".

Common cause

PROMT NET uses the Distributed COM (DCOM) protocol for communications between client workstations and the server. This error may be caused by incorrect DCOM settings on the server and/or workstations.

Cause 1

Users have no access to the server at the DCOM network protocol level. The PROMT NET server part had not been properly setup right after the installation or adding of new users/user groups in the User Manager application.

Solution 1
  1. Launch the Server Login application on the PROMT NET server.
  2. In step 2, add accounts for the users or user groups to permit access to the PROMT NET system.
  3. In step 3, check whether the PROMT NET effective user account and password are correct.


Cause 2

Incorrect DCOM settings on the PROMT NET server.

Solution 2

Check the DCOM settings on the PROMT NET server:

  1. Open the Component Service (dcomcnfg.exe) on the PROMT NET server.
  2. Check the settings of PROMT NET DCOM servers:
    • PNETSvr
    • prmedsvr
    • PrmtSvr
    • PrmtDDB (only for PROMT NET 7.0/8.0/8.5)
    • PitmSvr (only for PROMT NET 7.0)

    For each DCOM server, do the following:
      1. Open the Security tab and set the permissions:
        • Local access
        • Remote access
        • Start
        • Activation

        for the following accounts:
        • PROMT NET effective user
        • PROMT NET users
        • PROMT NET user groups

      2. Open the Identity tab and make sure that the PROMT NET effective user account is specified as the account to be used when starting the PROMT NET DCOM server.


Cause 3

Incorrect DCOM settings on the PROMT NET workstation.

Solution 3

Check the DCOM settings on the workstation:

  1. Open the Component Service (dcomcnfg.exe) on the PROMT NET server.
  2. In My Computer, open the Properties window:
      1. Open the Default Properties tab and set the values of the following parameters:
        • "Enable DCOM on this Computer" – enabled;
        • Authentication – Connect;
        • Impersonation – Identify.

      2. Open the Security tab and set the permissions:
        • Local access
        • Remote access
        • Start
        • Activation

        for the following accounts:
        • PROMT NET effective user
        • All group
        • Anonymous logon



Cause 4

The PROMT NET effective user account has no "Log on as a batch job" permission in the local policy on the PROMT NET server.

Solution 4
  1. Open the Local Security Policy (secpol.msc) on the PROMT NET server.
  2. Click Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
  3. Add the PROMT NET effective user account to the list of accounts of the "Logon as a batch job" policy.


Cause 5

The PROMT NET effective user account has no "Access this computer from the network" permission in the local policy on the PROMT NET workstation.

Solution 5
  1. Open the Local Security Policy (secpol.msc) on the PROMT NET workstation.
  2. Click Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment.
  3. Add the PROMT NET effective user account to the list of accounts of the "Access this computer from the network" policy.


Cause 6

On the PROMT NET server, a firewall is enabled that prevents operation of applications via the DCOM protocol.

Solution 6
In the firewall setup on the PROMT NET server, open the following ports:
  • TCP 135 (RPC service)
  • TCP 1024-65535 (for Windows Server 2000-2003), 49152-65535 (for Windows Server 2008)


Cause 7

On the PROMT NET workstation, a firewall is enabled that prevents operation of applications via the DCOM protocol.

Solution 7

Problem


After the PTS is installed, the following error messages occur when trying to access the application server web page:

  • Unable to open physical file (path to the DB file)... Login failed for user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SYSTEM.
  • Failed to update database (path to the DB file) because the database is read-only.

The PTS application server stores the information on users and translation servers in the special MS SQL Server database.
PTS supports the following versions of MS SQL Server:

  1. MS SQL Server 2005 (32- and 64-bit)
  2. MS SQL Server 2008 (R2) (32- and 64-bit)
  3. MS SQL Server 2005 Express (delivered with the PTS).

Solution:

To manage and setup connection to the PTS user database, use the Database tab of the PTS Application Server Setup application.

If MS SQL Server 2005 Express is used to store the PTS user database, it will be selected by default and no additional actions for connection setup will be required.

If MS SQL Server (supporting SQL Server Authentication) is used to store the PTS user database, you have to specify the database connection parameters.
The procedure is as follows:

  • On the Database tab of the PTS Application Server Setup application, select Microsoft SQL Server and click Edit. The Connection tab of the standard Properties for data communication window will open.
  • On step 1 - Select or enter the server name, enter the server name in the Computer_name\Database_name format or select the appropriate server from the list.
  • On step 2 - For the server access use:, select the provided name and password option and specify the user's account data; the user shall have necessary permissions to login to the SQL Server. Select the Permit to save the password checkbox.
  • On step 3, the following options are available:
  1. If you want to use an existing SQL Server PTS user database, select the Select the database on the server option.
  2. If no user database exists on the SQL Server, select the Attach the database file under the name -> Use the file name and specify the path to the database file as shown below:
    1. %programfiles%\PRMT9\PTS\ApplicationServer\App_Data\TWS.MDF (in case the MS SQL Server is on the same computer where PTS is installed)
    2. \\PTS_server_name\App_Data\TWS.MDF (if MS SQL Server runs on a separate computer, the %programfiles%\PRMT9\PTS\ApplicationServer\App_Data folder shall be shared – only for MS SQL Server 2008)
  • Test the database connection by clicking the Check connection button.

To improve PTS stability, initialization of linguistic data can be performed in the Read Only mode.
When using this mode, the following restrictions occur:

  • Editing of linguistic data via the PTS web interface is not available.
  • Synchronization of linguistic data using the PTS Data Synchronization application (PTSSync) is not available.
  • When several translation servers are used, synchronization of linguistic data between these servers is also unavailable.
To enable this mode, use the method described below:

Solution
In the configuration file of the translation server web application, the parameter for linguistic data initialization in the Read Only mode shall be added. To do this, change the appSettings section of the \ProgramFiles\PRMT9\PTS\TranslationServer\Web.config file, add the add key="InitReadonly" value="true" parameter, as shown below:

PTS products provide the option to use several translation servers connected to a single application server. Several translation servers allow to use load balancing and fail-safety mechanisms of the PTS application server and to increase the speed of processing translation requests.

Sometimes, due to certain reasons, installation of additional translation servers on the selected physical/virtual servers is impossible, but a solution for PTS stability improvement is still required (for example, owing to high load of the translation server). In that case, if PTS license arrangement admit adding translation servers, a solution can be used which provides duplication of the translation server web application on the same server where the application and translation servers are installed.

Increasing the number of translation server web applications allows you to use load balancing and fail safety mechanisms of the application server, thus improving the PTS stability. Meanwhile, the overall performance is not increased, because a single translation core is used.

If you are interested in this solution, please contact the PROMT user support department for additional information.
