other than those we support, please check with the manufacturer of the device or contact the sales outlet.

There are DJS version updates scheduled in order to improve the performance and add functionality. By completing the user registration,

you not only gain access to our support site, but it also allows you to download the updater program. By all means update your version of
DJS with this updater program so you can always have the latest version to use.

 Trial Period and User Registration

DJS has a trial period, which lasts for 60 days after installing the software. This trial period is the length of time you can user DJS without
registering as a user. Once this trial period expires, you will not be able to enjoy using DJS anymore, so be sure to complete user registration
within 60 days of installing the software.

Online user registration is available for our customers who are connected to the internet.

Precautions about Filling in the User Registration card

• Please specify an 8 to 10 digit alphanumeric login name and password in the appropriate columns on the user registration card.

• Please affix the Installation Key Sticker for User Registration in the Software Installation Key box on the user registration card.

• Please enter the language you selected when you installed DJS in the Software Language box on the user registration card. The 8
languages are English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Traditional Chinese and Japanese.

• You can check your Key Code on the DJS screen. → ‘Offline Registration (Key Code Display)’

• Transfer the 8 digit alphanumeric code shown on the screen into the Key Code column of the user registration card.

• Please print neatly so it is possible to distinguish between 1 and 7, 1 and the letter I and between 2 and the letter Z. Also, please enter
the number 0 (zero) with a diagonal line so it may be distinguished from the letter O.

After we receive your user registration card at our offices, we will send you a registration ID so you can release the trial period.
