Purchasing and Registration

Purchasing and Registration

NOTE: I recommend you purchase your HP50g from http://commerce.hpcalc.org/

From this site you may also purchase your HP50g with Easydrill pre-loaded. There is a loading fee of US$25 in addition to the cost of the license ($375) which must be paid directly to myself using the Paypal link found at the bottom of this page. Please contact the owner of the site for further details or you can order directly from this page: http://commerce.hpcalc.org/buy.php
Note: You Pay for the license directly to me using the Paypal button at the bottom of this page
You Pay for the calculator, loading fee and shipping using the link above.

Price for registering the HP49G+/HP50g version is $375. Upon receipt of payment confirmation and the internal serial number (see below) of your calculator, you will promptly be emailed the activation code. For those of you who would rather not try to communicate the calculator to the PC, Easdrill is also available stored in an SD flash memory card that can be inserted into the HP49g+/HP50g. Price for the card is US$430 including shipping. HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN SD CARD. Go to the bottom of the Downloads page for further instructions.
NOTE: Installation from the card is very simple and dispenses the need to connect to the PC, however, after installation the card is no longer needed to run Easydrill. If you wish to install Easydrill yourself directly into your HP49g+/HP50g (without using the SD memory card), I will provide you detailed instructions including live phone assistance if needed!. Whether you install from the PC or from the SD card, you must obtain the internal serial number in order to register the program (see below).

Note: There have been some problems reported with the connectivity software that comes with the CD included with the HP50g. If you have problems with the Connectivity kit installation or the USB drivers, please visit the HP website to download the latest version, a link to that page follows:

Obtaining the serial number of the calculator:

The Serial number of the calculator, for registrations purposes, is NOT the number stamped on the back of the calculator.
To obtain the INTERNAL serial number, follow this procedure:

Note: This procedure assumes your calculator is set to RPN operating mode. To set the operating mode to RPN, press the MODE (H) key. and then the [CHOOS] menu key

HP49g
Press [ALPHA] Twice. The Alpha enunciator should be showing on the top part of the screen.
Type: 256 ATTACH [ENTER], Press [ALPHA] twice again and type SERIAL [ENTER]
The tail end of the serial number should be showing on the screen.
Press the down arrow and then the right arrow to show the whole serial number.
Carefully copy this serial number. Carefully copy the serial number on the back of the calculator. Send both these numbers to the developer along with the registrations fee (make sure you point out clearly which one is the internal serial number).

HP49g+/HP50g
The above procedure will work just as well for the HP49g+/HP50g however you might find the following procedure easier:
With the calculator ON press the + and - (minus) keys at the same time with your left thumb and while doing this insert the blunt end of a paper clip into the reset hole in the back of the calculator (right next to the stamped serial number) push reasonably hard till the screen goes blank and hold this position for 3 seconds. While still holding the + and - keys pressed release the pressure on the paper clip and wait 3 more seconds, relese the + and - keys. The internal serial number will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. To return to normal calculator operation reset the calculator through the reset hole again.

Please, if you are ordering the SD card, send me a contact phone number. This is a requirement of the courier company I use, thanks
