E-Touch User Guides and FAQ / e-touch activation and marriag...
Last post by fb28 - June 09, 2025, 02:30:18 AMA few questions from a newbie - please bear with me...
First, is an internet connection required to register e-touch,
or can it be done off-line?
I think that I read that the commercial (coin-op) version was
locked into the host, and if there was either a failure, upgrade
or other reason to relocate the s/w, that I would need the new
machines' ID (I guess public key) and they would issue a new
registration number/key for the new machine. Have I got that correct?
IOW, if I installed e-touch on a "new" "coin-op" machine, and used
the same registration key - it wouldn't run? Would it default to demo?
Same question if I had another coin-op copy on a development machine,
and it failed - if I relocated/re-installed that e-touch s/w on a new
machine would that require another/new license file?
Does the registration process (as far as relocating/restoring the
S/W on another machine) work the same for the standard vs coin-op?
IOW, need new licenses - each "married" the hardware by some public
key? Same procedure for either version: send email with ID numbers
that came with that copy's download, and I would get a unique
license file for that copy?
Does the standard version have some time-limited coin-op functionality
in order to test/emulate an operational/revenue system? IOW, would
I need two commercial licenses to have a development system identical
(except for the hardware environment) for full emulation?
"Life member" My understanding is that for "lifetime" credit,
it's the cost of the option (i.e. full, commercial) x 2 - so, $70
for the full, if you get the commercial version - will you get
lifetime support, or is it $500 (x2) for lifetime commercial?
What is "lifetime support". While the "future" is a long ways
away, what if the company decides to discontinue the product,
or maybe the owner decides to retire - any number of things...
Is there a plan for a backup to issue new/replacement licenses?
Especially for the commercial (coin-op) version, which by then
will still be relied upon as a revenue source and not "go dark".
e-touch seems to be one of the best-rated s/w solutions for
a private-owned box, but it's not just the investment of the
extra $$ for the commercial version - one needs to consider
the long-term availability (and oh yes, most likely replacing
failed hardware from time to time).

Support and Bug Reports / Commercial version
Last post by fb28 - June 05, 2025, 02:16:47 AMQuestions about commercial/coin-op version... Can a "standard"
version be upgraded in the future to coin-op? Is there any
coin-op functions available in the standard version to create
and/or modify skins? Is the commercial version "married" to
the computer hardware? What if it fails and either the HDD or
entire system needs replacing? Does one simply transfer the
license file (assuming one is used) to the replacement hardware?
Is there a dongle option available to allow transfer/activation
of the license no matter what hardware it end up on?
Thanks...

Last post by Sparky23 - March 27, 2025, 04:03:21 PMHey Barry what if I removed all of the ID3V1 tags and just use ID3V2? That shouldn't cause an issue with e-touch?

General Discussion / Non-Mp3 tagger
Last post by Aussie-Adam - March 15, 2025, 02:24:00 AMHey guys ,
I remember ages ago that a version of the non Mp3 tagger would work out the length of the video as it scrapped it so it would show the length in the song listing page.
Anyone have an idea of that version was the last to have this function ?
And im guessing it should be ok to work with the most current version of E-Touch ?
Thanks
