Notes
▪The server software version must be the same as, or later than, the client software version.
▪Do not use space characters in the project names.
▪When activating a new project from a desktop application (UNICOM Intelligence Author, UNICOM Intelligence Professional), a message appears when there is an existing ActivateDocument.xml file with unmatched information in the project’s local folder:
The latest activation settings in the project folder are for a different project. Do you want to update the activation settings based on the current project?
[Yes] [No]
If you select Yes, all unmatched information is replaced with the current project information.
If you select No, the unmatched information is preserved.
▪When you activate a questionnaire in UNICOM Intelligence Author or UNICOM Intelligence Professional, the .mdd file is copied into the FileName_files folder under the questionnaire file. The activation process uploads all the files from this folder into the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin project.
▪If you try to reactivate a project before receiving the successful activation message from the Activation Console, you might not retrieve the most up-to-date information from the server.
The .NET Framework’s default encoding reads the registry’s ANSI code page when encoding. As a result, errors might occur when activating questionnaires that include characters such as umlauts (for example, when the project name contains “Ä”). You can resolve this issue by updating the server’s ANSI codepage:
On the server, click Start > Run, type regedit, and then go to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP
For servers running a German operating system, enter 850; for Chinese, enter 936; for Japanese, enter 932.
For more information, see “Encoding Class” on the Microsoft MSDN site:
