Has anyone a way to get Microcat running without the dongle? I have
access to new CD's, and would like to use it, but cannot get by the
dongle.

Been trying this one for some time - with zero success. I'm still using
Unicat (EPC), FWIW it's a more accurate system!
According to my local main dealer Microcat is pretty flawed insomuch as
wrong part numbers etc, that's why they blagged a copy of Unicat back from
me after they had new computers installed!!!

Granted, it's a bit outdated for the newer landys, but the Microcat has (or
had) a lot of incorrect part numbers for earlier models - maybe the latest
upgrades have sorted it all out?

I'm certainly open to trying it....

That would definitely be appreciated by me Mark, and I'm sure by Landyowner
as well. If you get a chance, email is brianhattonatbtinternetdotcom, many
thanks.

I have a Microcat cd that says 2001 on it, would the file you have bypass
the dongle on that?
Cheers

Yes, but you'd have to change the date on your PC to what ever the date on
your CD says. To be honest Microcat in 2001 was pretty dire, so try and get
your hands on an upto date CD

Who has got a microcat cd that they would like to copy for me for a small
fee. The latest version available would be nice.

I've got a copy (Jan 2005 edition) that works without a dongle, just
one 'altered' file that I know of that makes it work without the dongle
I can send to anyone who want's hit.
I'm looking for an even newer version (or an update) if anyone's got
it?

TIA
Si

Thanks to Mark and SI for their help it was appreciated.
Unfortunately My Version is the Austraian FORD with 2 CD and none of the
Fixes actaully work on this version so I'm still looking for a fix but
todate no joy at all sadly.
Cheers.
