Century Software has received a request to add an automatic login capability to TinyTERM for iPad.

CR 906

Century Software has received a request for global color and encoding default in TinyTERM for iPad. This would allow a single set of colors, code pages, etc., to apply to all new connections after they are set.

CR 905, added in version 1.1.0

TinyTERM for iPad 1.0 does not include copy or paste capabilities. Century Software has had a request to add that functionality.

CR 904

When using Wyse50 or Wyse60 emulation in TinyTERM for iPad version 1.0, reverse text displays as a solid block instead. This is an initialization error in the text draw. It was corrected in TinyTERM version 1.1.0.

On 64-bit Windows 7, TinyTERM Plus may fail to connect automatically when the connection type is set to SSH. This can be cleared up by running TinyTERM in a 32-bit compatibility mode. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Start menu and right-click on the TinyTERM Emulator icon.
2. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
3. In the resulting dialog, go to the Compatibility tab.
4. Check the box marked Run this program in compatibility mode for:
5. Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) from the drop-down list.
6. OK the changes.

SSH will connect normally after that.

Century Software, Inc., has received a report that printing to the Zebra GX420t label printer via USB fails from TinyTERM. The application either crashes or its display becomes unreadable. This happens regardless of the printer settings in TinyTERM or the Zebra printer driver version.

On Windows Vista, the printer driver can be bypassed, which allows TinyTERM to print properly and continue functioning. The same setting fails on Windows XP. Century Software has been unable to duplicate this issue.

When running TinyTERM version 4.63 or higher, you may get an error message that reads, “This copy of TinyTERM is not licensed to run on Microsoft server operating systems.” It is most common on Windows Vista and later Windows versions.

This message indicates that the product is not licensed to run in a terminal server environment. TinyTERM uses concurrent licensing in Microsoft terminal server environments such as Windows 2008 Server.

If you believe you have received this message in error, please contact Century Software technical support at support@centurysoftware.com or 801-268-3088. Please have your activation key and your Windows version available. We will work with you to get this issue resolved.

When running TinyTERM version 4.63 or higher, you may see a “License Count Exceeded” error dialog. This happens when you open more windows than your product is licensed for. For example, a three-user TinyTERM Plus license will only allow three windows to open. The fourth will see this error.

This is by design. In terminal server environments such as Microsoft Windows 2008 Server, TinyTERM Plus is licensed concurrently. Only the licensed number of TinyTERM instances may be run at one time.

You may get this message in error on standalone PCs. If this is happening, and you believe it should not be, please contact technical support at support@centurysoftware.com or 801-268-3088. Please have your 25-character activation key available, and let us know which version of Windows you are using. We will resolve this issue for you.

When you enter a license into TinyTERM 4.60 or higher, it may accepts the activation key but not run. Instead, the next time TinyTERM starts, it will ask for the license again.

When this happens, the license doesn’t match the individual release installed. For example, TinyTERM 4.63 will appear to accept a TinyTERM 4.62 license, but can’t actually use it.

To fix this, install the correct version of TinyTERM for your license. To get that version, login to the Customer Portal. A list of your registered licenses will be displayed. Click the download button next to the license to get the matching TinyTERM install file.

When using Century LPD on Windows 7 or Vista, print jobs won’t come through by default. A Windows XP system on the same network  won’t have any problems.

This is due to increased firewall security in newer versions of Windows. To allow LPD print jobs, you’ll need to add both CenLPD.exe and CenLPDstatus.exe to the list of exceptions in the Windows firewall, as well as to any third-party firewall software you may have running. Both applications should be allowed full network access.

For TinyTERM Plus 4.60 or 4.61, you will also need to go to Start | All Programs | Startup. Right-click on the CenLPDstatus icon there and select Properties. In the properties for the shortcut, enable the “Run as Administrator” option. TinyTERM Plus versions 4.62 and higher don’t require this step.
