Dial-Up Lock Me™ FAQ

  • Q: What is Dial-Up Lock Me?
  • A: Dial-Up Lock Millennium Edition is a client/server tool that enables to set user-level security for the Internet Dial-Up (RAS) connections. Using Dial-Up Lock Me you can limit incoming and outgoing traffic, limit time online and set allowed/denied time periods for any user on a Windows 95/98/Me. It enhances the standard Windows security by allowing you to control the Internet access via modems (standard, ISDN, etc.). Dial-Up Lock Me runs transparently in the background and is invisible to users. Dial-Up LockMe automatically disconnects users that exceed allowed time or traffic. Remote control is also available.
  • Q: What limitations are there in an unregistered version?
  • A: There are no functional limitations for an unregistered version and you may use Dial-Up Lock Me (during the evaluation period) as a fully registered program but only on one computer. An unregistered version of Dial-Up Lock Me displays nag screens.
  • Q: Is it safe to use my credit card on the internet?
  • A: Yes. All our registrations use SECURE protocols. It is impossible for a third party to intercept your credit card information. We also offer alternative ordering methods (such as order by fax, toll-free phone, bank transfer, etc.).
  • Q: I bought the Single license of Dial-Up Lock Me. Could I install Dial-Up Lock Me on all the computers in my network?
  • A: You may install Dial-Up Lock Me Service on only a single computer but Dial-Up Lock Me Manager can be installed on any number of your computers. The Single license gives you the right to use Dial-Up Lock Me on one computer so you are able to control access on only one computer. If you wish to use Dial-Up Lock Me on several computers, you need to purchase the appropriate number of Single licenses.
    For example, if you wish to control Dial-Up connections on:
    - one computer - you need to purchase one Single license ($30);
    - two computers - you need to purchase two Single licenses ($60);
    - 45 computers in the one domain - you need to purchase 45 Single licenses ($1350), but you can buy the Site license ($500) and you'll be able to install Dial-Up Lock Me on all the computers in the one domain (one Site license per one domain). Moreover, you will need to purchase additional licenses only for other domains so if you decide to add computers to the same domain, you won't pay for the extra licenses!
    - all the computers - you can purchase the World license ($800) and install Dial-Up Lock Me on all the computers in your network.
  • Q: Is it possible to install Dial-Up Lock Me automatically (without any user intervention)?
  • A: Yes. Launch Dial-Up Lock Me setup with the /s parameter to install Dial-Up Lock Me without user intervention. This provides an install that can be used from within a batch file.
    There is a special configuration file for silent setup: setup.ini. With this file, you can customize the Dial-Up Lock Me installation parameters. For example:
    1. "Install" parameters:
      • Service - Dial-Up Lock Me Service and its related files will be installed
      • Manager - Dial-Up Lock Me Manager and its related files will be installed
      • Documents - documentation (readme.txt, register.txt) will be installed
      • To specify a destination directory for Dial-Up Lock Me, you can supply the parameter InstallDir
      • If you have the registration key-file for Dial-Up Lock Me, you can specify a directory with this file in the parameter RegFileDir
    2. "Misc" parameters:
      • Run - this parameter is used to launch an application or execute a batch file after a successful install.
  • Q: Dial-Up Lock Me Service stopped a few seconds after launch or it didn't launch. What's wrong?
  • A: There are a few possible reasons. An error may have occured during the processing of the Dial-Up Lock Me Service launch. Or Dial-Up Lock Me can't be launched because you are attempting to use an unregistered copy in your network. Or you don't have enough licenses to launch another copy of Dial-Up Lock Me Service.
    In any case, you can get more information from the dulmesrv.err file or dulmesrv.rpt file, located in your Windows/System directory.
