No 'Download' button
After filling out the Activation form, and clicking the 'Request
Activation' button a 'Thank You for Registering TNTlite' page should open in your browser. Click the "Download Now" link that appears.
File didn't download or download wasn't complete
We have hundreds of successful downloads from our site each week. While we
know there can be a problem with our web site or a link, most of the time the problem ends up being a result of an unreliable communication link to
the internet.
A download manager can continue a download after it fails, from the same
place it stopped. A download manager can help you save days of trying to
download very large files, even from unreliable sites or with unreliable
internet connections. Gozilla is one such download manager. It can be a
little tricky to figure out, but works great once you know how to use it.
Please look at our web page "Download
Managers" for more
information. It will tell you how to resume interrupted downloads of large files.
Reseller Code
The TNTlite Activation page requires a legitimate Reseller
Code.
Click the 'find
code' link on the TNTlite Activation page
to open a
list of reseller locations. Click on
the reseller nearest you to open that reseller's information page.
On the reseller's page, look for the box that shows the 'reseller code.' Navigate
back to the TNTlite Activation page and continue filling out the form.
You can use code US038 if all else fails.
Still can't download?
You may go directly to our FTP SITE: ftp://ftp.microimages.com. The files are in the
/pub/tntlite/[version]/[your
operating system] directory (example: \pub\tntlite\v73\win32). If you are using Internet Explorer, log on as anonymous and enter your email as
password.
You may contact the reseller closest to you if you are unable to
download the file or Order TNTlite on CD directly from MicroImages (cost
including shipping: $50 US).
Didn't get activation code email
It is possible you entered the wrong email address. If you also didn't
receive the downloaded file, go back to the download page and start again. If you received the downloaded file but not the activation code, you may go
directly to our TNTlite Activation form page, fill it out, and
try again.
Dialup connection
Before clicking the 'Request Activation' button in the
TNTlite Activation
form, you must answer 'No' to the 'Are you using a dialup connection (phone
modem)?' If you are using a phone modem with a download manager go ahead and click 'No' to continue with the download.
INSTALLATION
PROBLEMS
Mac
Mac users need X11 optional install.
X11 is one of the Optional Installs on your Tiger DVD. However, X11 can be
confused with X11SDK, which is not the same. If installed, X11 will be
located in Applications/Utilities.
How to start TNTlite
In Windows, navigate from your Start menu to MicroImages > TNT Products
[version] > TNTmips. Note that TNTedit and TNTview are a components
included in TNTmips.
For Mac, select Go -> Applications from the desktop
menu. Open the TNT products item in the Applications list, and click the
TNTmips icon.
For Linux and Unix, uncompress and untar the downloaded file. If
the download file is the only .tgz file in the directory, you can do it with
this command:
tar -xzf *.tgz
Go into the directory you created with
cd tnt72
Start TNTmips with the command
./tntmips &
Activation code expired
The activation code emailed to you after you submit the TNTlite Activation
form will expire approximately three days after it is sent. Once TNTlite is installed, started, and the activation code entered - you can use it
indefinitely.
Note that you can use the same activation code on multiple computers as
long as it hasn't expired. In the future when you do a new installation of TNTlite, you will need to get a new activation code from our web site.
You can get a new activation code emailed to you at any time by filling out the
TNTlite Activation
form.
Bad activation code or email
The first time you start TNTmips in
Lite mode, you will be asked to enter
the Activation code along with the email address you used in the TNTlite
Activation form. Be sure to enter the same email address that you entered
when filling out the Activation form. We recommend that you cut and paste the activation code and email address directly from the email you received
from us.
LITE LIMITATIONS
TNTlite is a free version of TNTmips, TNTedit, and TNTview for small-scale
projects. TNTlite is not a demo, but a large, full-featured geospatial
analysis software package. The free TNTlite product has all the features of the
professional TNTmips
version, except TNTlite
limits the size of Project File objects. (More on TNTlite LIMITS ...

TNTmips. TNTlite and the professional TNTmips both also share the same
patches: http://www.microimages.com/downloads/tntpatch/
