First time you run WinWAP on your PC

Until you register WinWAP, you can only browse pages on the winwap.com website. In order to open any pages, you should select "Register WinWAP" from the "Help" menu. In the window that opens (shown below) you have three options.

• Get full license. This option should be used once you have purchased a Registration Key. After registering your full license there are no limitations to how long you can use WinWAP on your computer.

• Restore full license. If you have previously registered a full license, but have re-installed WinWAP at a different location on your PC, or you have re-installed your Operating System then WinWAP needs to restore it's registration. In this case, you should use the "Restore full license" option to get your browser up and running again.
• Get free evaluation (trial) license. For your free 30 day evaluation of WinWAP you should select this option and click on "Register now!". Once your 30 day evaluation is over, you must buy a Registration Key to continue using WinWAP.

Note that you must be connected to the Internet to register WinWAP. When registering it sends non-identifiable information about your computer that allows WinWAP to create individual licenses for your computer. When providing your email address with the registration it will never be used for anything else then restoring your license in case you have problems or switch to a new computer. Note that if you decide not to provide your email addres, there is no way for Winwap support engineers to restore your license for you if get a new computer and want to move WinWAP to that computer.

My trial period has expired, what do I do?

You must purchase a license (Registration Key) for the browser to continue using it. Click on the "Buy now!" button to open the secure online ordering page. Once you have received your Registration Key, you should enter it into the registration window displayed here and select "Get full license" before clicking on "Register now!".

No. The 30 day trial period can not be extended. To continue using the browser on the same PC you must purchase it.

Can I move WinWAP to my new Computer?

How do I switch between HTTP and Gateway modes?

Go to the menu EDIT -> OPTIONS and select the General Tab. In that tab you can select the connection mode.

What is the difference between HTTP and WAP Gateway modes?

HTTP is the same protocol that is used with your normal web browser to open pages on the internet. In Gateway mode all data passes through the gateway that in fact compresses the data so that it loads faster over a slow connection. If your own connection to the internet is as fast as the gateways connection to the internet, it is in fact faster to use HTTP mode since you then retrieve the data directly from the URL instead of having the data pass the gateway and be processed in the gateway.

Typically you would always want to use a WAP gateway over non-broadband connections (3G, UMTS, WCDMA or GPRS or other slow dial-up connection) to speed up page loading. In order to use your Telcom Operators services you will need to connect to their WAP gateway, using a connection from a mobile phone that has an account from the same Telecom Operator.

Where do I get an address for a WAP Gateway?

If you are using a 3G or GPRS connection your operator will supply you with the WAP Gateway address. There are also a number of gateways on the internet that can be used. WinWAP has a few of these gateways predefined in the gateway list.

Can I save files with WinWAP?

Yes. When unknown content is received, WinWAP will ask if you want to save it to disk. Just follow the instructions to save the content. If WinWAP by itself supports the content then it will be displayed in WinWAP.

Why does WinWAP not work over our LAN (local area network) in HTTP mode?

Your administrator may have disabled direct HTTP connections to the internet. Usually in these situations a HTTP Proxy is available. Ask your administrator for the address and port to the HTTP proxy. The proxy can be defined in the EDIT -> OPTIONS, HTTP Tab.

How do I erase any traces of my surfing?

Why do HTML pages look different then on Internet Explorer or Firefox?

Allthough WinWAP supports HTML 4.01 it is still designed to be a mobile browser so HTML pages do not look precisely as with regular WEB-only browsers. In future versions we may however add full HTML support as well for platforms that are capable of handling the content.
