    This is a reminder that there are data updates available. Even though the program might be the newest version, there could have been some changes to the data in the meantime. It is always recommended to update the program data if asked. This is a simple process that is pretty much fully automatic. You can also check for updates at any time by using the “Check for updates” command at various points in the program.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5

    • Make sure you have the latest version of World Time 2006.
    • A workaround for this is to move the offending clock away and put it back to the edge.
    • It is also possible that the clocks are actually not at the edge, but slightly off. This is less likely the case because they should snap to the edge when moved close to it.
    • When certain World Time windows are open clocks don’t hide. This is by design as it is required for the use of the program.
    • Under certain circumstances all the clocks can temporarily “forget” to hide, until the mouse moves over one of the clocks again.

    The Word Time Manager serial number is your key to unlock the program.  It is a unique code that is linked to your name. No one else can use it. It converts your trial version to a full version and represents your license.  There are two ways to obtain a serial number. You can either follow the wizard that comes up in World Time Manager and purchase your license using the integrated store or you can get your licens from the online store. Using the integrated store is more convenient as you do not have to manually enter your serial number.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.5
