SMS Mobile User Manual
Registering SMS Mobile
SMS Mobile requires an unlock code to provide full functionality. When you first install
SMS Mobile it is in trial mode and will only provide full functionality for 30 calendar
days or 5 actual usage days. Once either trial time expires you will not be able to use any
of the Field Operations to collect or edit data. The rest of the application will continue to
function though.
To register SMS Mobile on a Windows Mobile device you must call or email in your
registration information. Please note that you must have SMS Mobile installed on your
mobile device before we can register and unlock it. To begin the registration process call
the Ag Leader Software Support Group at (515) 232-5363 and select the Software
Support option and then the SMS Mobile option or email into
[email protected]. You will need to gather the following information to provide
over the phone or via email :
 Your Name and Address
 Activation code - Located on the back of the DVD case that your SMS CD came in
 Device Identification - Found by starting SMS Mobile and going to SETUP, then
REGISTRATION
Once you have provided the information above you will be provided with an unlock code
that you can enter by selecting the REGISTER SOFTWARE button on the
REGISTRATION screen. Press OK once the code is entered and you should now be
unlocked. Once you have a unlock code it will remain valid to use on your specific
mobile device and for the current version of the software. If you change mobile devices
this unlock will not be valid and if the software version changes (i.e. a new major version
of the software is released) you will need a new unlock code.
To register SMS Mobile PC you can follow the instructions above if you don't have an
internet connection on your device. If you do have an internet connection then the
software can be registered online using the ACTIVATION CODE provided on the DVD
case you received with the software. Start SMS Mobile PC, go to the HELP menu and
select REGISTRATION. Click the REGISTER button and follow the wizard steps to
create a registration account if you don't already have one and activate your software.
You are allowed one unlock per purchased copy of the software.
Setting up a GPS Receiver
When you first start SMS Mobile, it will automatically try and detect and select a
connected GPS receiver. Serial connections via the 9-pin port will detect the fastest, CF
or SD card GPS receivers will take a little longer, and Bluetooth (BT) GPS receivers will
take the longest to detect initially. BT GPS receivers also must be first configured and
connected to your device before they can be detected and SMS Mobile can not
automatically connect them for you. This requires you to manually connect to your BT
GPS receiver before you try and detect it with SMS Mobile. All other receiver types
should be automatically detected for you by SMS Mobile because they are physically
connected to your device but this depends on your device's GPS settings and also does
not apply to internal GPS receivers.
