Calculations PIN number

Step 1. Before paying for on-line calculations, please run a test to see if our calculations will run on your computer:

Enter the password "test" below (lowercase without the quotes).  If the words "Not registered user" change to "All features enabled" and the "Click to Calculate" button works, then your computer will work fine with all of our website calculations after entering a purchased PIN number.

Notes: Our calculations run on most computers with Internet Explorer and Firefox (free Firefox download), but may not run with Apple's Safari. To see if you have Java on your computer, go to http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp .

Your browser does not support Java, or Java is disabled in your browser. Calculation should be here.

After testing, be sure to delete the test cookie from your computer by clicking the "Delete Cookie" button below.  If you don't, our home page will say "Welcome Registered User" (since it says that for any cookie set by our server), but none of the calculations will work except the test calculation. You won't be able to enter a purchased PIN until the test cookie is deleted. The test cookie will automatically be deleted after a day.

How our on-line calculations system works
Once you receive a calculations PIN, go to the LMNO Engineering home page, http://www.LMNOeng.com, and type it in.  A program will automatically check if your PIN is valid.  If the PIN is valid, then a cookie will be saved to your computer.  The cookie indicates how many computers can use your PIN and the duration purchased.  You will not have to re-type the PIN on future visits to our website unless you use a different computer.  If you routinely use different brands of web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer and Netscape) on the same computer, each browser is recognized as a different computer; so try to avoid using different browsers from the same computer unless you have excess licenses.  Your access time (duration) is determined based on the first date and time you type the PIN into our home page.  Date and time are determined by our server.  For example, if you paid for 7 days of access and type in the password on May 2, 2005, at 8:00 AM, then your PIN expires May 9, 2005, at 8:00 AM.  It doesn't matter how many times you visit the website during those 7 days.  If you type in the same PIN on a second computer on May 4, 2005, at 11:00 AM, the expiration for the second computer will also be May 9, 2005, at 8:00 AM.

Cookies
What is a cookie?  A cookie is a line of information that is saved to a special file on your hard disk created by your web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer, etc.).  Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically.  However, if you are averse to accepting cookies, you can set your browser to accept cookies (click the advanced button after selecting options or preferences) when you enter your PIN; then you can turn off cookies.   Some people are averse to cookies because they don't want anything written by a website to their hard disk.  Cookies do not spread computer viruses, and most websites utilize cookies.  If you delete your cookie file, you will be asked to re-enter the password and our database will count that as another of your computer licenses.
