If you have a personalized license file, you can use this license file in two ways. You can copy the new license file to the application directory and replace the license file provided by the setup. After restarting the applications the information stored in the new license file is used by Notebook BatteryInfo.

This message can not be disabled by the user. The reason for this message is that Notebook BatteryInfo was used in commercial environment in the past, even if it was not permitted. This message comes in a random time span every 1-3 hours and looks "very nice" in a presentation with customers.
To disable the balloon tooltip, it is possible to get a contributor license. (More details can be found in Chapter 1.5.)

The free version of Notebook BatteryInfo has a few limitations in functionality. After a specific operating system runtime some features of Notebook BatteryInfo will be disabled. After a system reboot all features of Notebook BatteryInfo will work until the operating sytem runtime is reached again.
To disable this behaviour, it is possible to get a contributor license. (More details can be found in Chapter 1.5.)

I'll release enhanced and bugfixed versions of Notebook BatteryInfo. To make support easier for me Notebook BatteryInfo Betaversion will be invalid after a longer timespan.
To fix this problem only the current Beta version must be installed. Contributor License Files are still working with this new versions.

The source code of Notebook BatteryInfo is not available neither complete nor partially.

First check if you can reproduce the problem, than check if the found bug is not in the bug list. If the bug is not in the bug list I'd be pleased if the bug is reported.

Notebook BatteryInfo is a project with a very limited amount of time. The support, and answering email requests needs a lot time. For this reason a scheduling is not possible, since Notebook BatteryInfo does not have any priority in my plannings.

The Setup of Notebook BatteryInfo is made with the Nullsoft Installer (NSIS). Unfortunately some virus scanners detect once in a while a virus or trojan in the setup file. If a result is positive it is recommended to check the result with an other virus scan software. It is also a good idea to report this problem to the software manufacturer of the virus scan software.

Yes, Notebook BatteryInfo will be enhanced from time to time. For that all requests of new features will be checked if it makes sense to implement it in a new version.
