If I purchase a license, will I have to
uninstall the trial version and then install the licensed version?
No. What you downloaded and are currently evaluating is the full
product. But the included license certificate file is only valid for 60
days. When you purchase a license, you'll receive a new license
certificate file. You must then copy this new license
certificate file into the directory <InstallDir>\Data\Configuration\Licenses. The new
license certificate file will be automatically detected. There's no need
to restart anything or to reinstall the product.
No. DisclaimIt 4.5 supports only Exchange 2007/2010.
Use DisclaimIt 3.3 for MS Exchange 2000/2003.
Licenses for DisclaimIt 1.x, 2.x or 3.x are not valid for DisclaimIt
4.5 and must be upgraded to
DisclaimIt 4.x licenses. Please look
here for more information.
DisclaimIt will not modify messages which are encrypted or signed. Based
on your configuration, such messages will be either ignored (send
as-is), rejected or wrapped as attachment into new messages.
Yes. DisclaimIt can process messages sent from all kinds of MS Exchange
clients: Outlook, OWA, Outlook Express or other POP3/IMAP4 clients.
No. Text is added by DisclaimIt to messages
while the message is in transit. The original
messages in the user's Sent Items folder are not modified.
How can I configure DisclaimIt to insert blank lines between the
original message text and the text to add?
In the plain text and rich text of your text module, just insert empty lines at top
before your text. In the HTML text, use HTML formatting tags (e.g. <P>,
<BR>) to achieve the desired spacing.
It depends:
- For rich-text messages: The formatting of your rich text is preserved.
- For plain text messages: You can't specify the font for the plain text because plain text message doesn't support any kind of formatting - except line breaks.
- For HTML messages: Use the <FONT> tag in your HTML source code to specify the font to use.
Your problem occurs if you are using an Outlook 2003/2007 client, your
disclaimer text contains Umlaute and the message text contains only
US-ASCII characters: Outlook in its default configuration will not use the
configured encoding, for example: Western European (ISO), in case that
the message text contains only US-ASCII characters, but will use the
encoding US-ASCII for the message to send. When then DisclaimIt adds the
disclaimer text which contains Umlaute, they are converted to their
possible representation in US-ASCII (e.g.: ä -> a, ö -> o, ü -> u, etc.
). The solution for this problem is to configure Outlook 2003/2007 to always
use the specified encoding, for example: Western European (ISO). This
can be configured by unchecking the check box
Auto select encoding for outgoing messages in the dialog
Tools->Options->Mail Format->International
Options. This setting can also be centrally configured by group
policy.
- Install DisclaimIt on the new server.
- Copy the content of the directory <InstallDir>\Data\Configuration from the old server to the new server.
