HI guys,
I just got my new HD2 and am loving it but i was wondering if i could some how transfere my co pilot licence from my iphone to my new hd2?
Dont really want to have to pay for it twice?
Any ideas?
Cheers
JK
Call or email Co-pilot, I saw on some random youtube review of the HD2 that they have someway of transferring licenses i think.
I had already bought and was using CoPilot on a different WinMo phone and was able to deactivate my old phone and then activate it on my HTC HD2.
If you go into the Licensing option you can deactivate your Copilot (Settings -> Show More Settings ->Licensing) and the you can activate your Copilot on your HTC HD2
I'm not sure if this works from iPhone to HTC, no harm trying as you can just reactivate it if not.

Zut alors! I sold my iPhone after wiping all the data of it and didn't think to write down any licensing code from it. I have already paid for the Iphone Copilot but just assumed that it was lost money and now my HD2 trial had just expired
The CoPilot website specifically states licenses cannot be transferred to or from an iPhone
CoPilot said:
You can move your CoPilot Live v8 license from a Windows Mobile or Android smartphone to another Windows Mobile or Android Smartphone. Simply deactivate your license by selecting Menu > Settings > Licensing. You can then re-install CoPilot Live on the different phone. Please note you cannot move a CoPilot Live v8 license from or to an iPhone.

NO worries guys - just gonna have to suck it up and fork out another 30 big ones plus another 30 big one for a larger sd card.
God dam hippies!
***Update 3*** 09th August 2011
ALK have restored the CP8 download. Link here - thanks to Antus.
***Update 2*** 06th June 2011
It would seem with the introduction of CoPilot 9, a number of changes have occurred to their web site. As such, the old free APK update for CP8 has been removed from their system and can no longer be downloaded. It's still legit to own as it requires activation, so if someone could host the file contact me and I'll add the link, otherwise, this thread is effectively invalid. Sadly I no longer have the APK in question, because I just invested in CP9.
***Update*** 15th August 2010
This isn't specifically for the HD2. In fact this works for any device! WinMo -> Android OR Android -> WinMo.
Since those geniuses Coutlla/Dan fixed GPS for the HD2 Android, I thought for those of you who have purchased Co-Pilot and wish to transfer it over to Android, I'd make a small guide.
Requirements:
- A *LEGAL* copy of CoPilot 8 for Windows Mobile and the license key
- The latest version of CoPilot 8 for Android (works in Froyo now): LINK RESTORED
I bought it about 8 months ago for my HD2, for Windows Mobile 6.5. Great piece of software. I contacted ALK to ask if I could transfer between OS's and they said no, it wouldn't work! It also clearly states on their web site that transfers don't work: LINK RESTORED
So being stubborn, I thought I'd take my own license from WinMo and deactivate it, stick it into Android and needless to say - it works and I have a fully legal copy of CoPilot 8 running on my Android Froyo device. Those cheeky beggers at ALK!!!
So how to get it working:
Make sure you still have CoPilot installed under Windows Mobile and activated;
Launch CoPilot. Go to the Menu|Settings|Licensing (NOTE: If you can't see this, find "More Settings" and select that first to show Licensing);
Select your Map Region from the list (Mine was UK and Ireland), then press "Deactivate";
CoPilot will now shut down;
Boot into Android and using an installer, install the APK file which is in the requirements section at the top of the page or here (LINK RESTORED);
Open CoPilot from the Menu and it will ask for your license info. Enter this as you did when you first bought CoPilot (usually a username and password);
Bada Bing. That should be it, all working!
Just to clarify one further time, this is only for legally purchased licenses. No questions about dodgy software please. Thank you.
Very interesting, thanks !
How about Map data ? where do u put it on the card ?

It should be on the root of your SD Card in a folder "CoPilot".
I wonder if the text to speech feature will also work.... using the current key.
Thanks, thought that would work, and now I know it will! I'll be setting it up as well.
That was the only reason I would need to go back to WM. I use CP8 all the time!
Hero!

Haha, my motivation for switching was the same. It's better in Android IMO. For example you use the Android keyboard so it's qwerty and accepts voice input. It also has controllable volume over bluetooth For me I always listen to Music via bluetooth and in WinMo there was no control over individual volumes. If I had the volume at a normal level for music, the speech was far too loud. Now it's all controllable

Man I hated that Copilot non qwerty! Wow, speech too! Neat, just need to download the cp8 app for android now...
@OP (and everyone else)
Would anyone mind if I wrote this up on the front page, as it's great news. Anyone foresee any issues if this becomes 'publicised'? If so, I will hold off.

My only concern would be that Copilot ALK may not want us to transfer. But I do think that other HD2 owners or anyone coming from WM should be, and would be, happy to transfer/use CP8 that they paid for on Android.
So I guess ...go for it. I'm switching ASAP just in case...hehe.
Ok, cool thanks. Just thought I'd quickly check - I had the same thoughts as you (noellenchris). I've written up a short article on this, so it should get published sometime tonight/tomorrow (GMT).
If there any strong objections let me know
All working, the only thing I should have done was deactivate Premium Live Services first in WM.... before the UK/IRELAND maps.... not really a big problem as the live services are a waste of time anyway.
To be honest, comparing Copilot to the free Google Navigation app I think Copilot will be dead and buried within a year.
what about tomtom navigator?
deactivation in android?

I have done this before to transfer between winmo devices and it works a treat. Do you know if you can do the reverse of this and deactivate it in Android and then reactivate it back in winmo? Be useful to know before I get locked in to android.

Quite frankly - I'm flattered, and yes of course you can post it.

Yes it is 100% reversible. ALK can't be bothered with all the enquires I think and I truly believe it's a good way for them to make a quick extra money! As a user who paid for it once, I refuse to pay again. Take Photoshop for example, if you buy it for a mac, you can use the same license on a PC and vice versa.
Enjoy!

AFAIK, there is no TomTom for Android. Quite frankly they are so behind with their mobile software, it's just not worth using anyway.
Hope ALK is planning on integrating the contacts in CP8.... Other than that, it works great.
Anyone know if it will be possible to deactivate my WM version when I don't own my old windows phone any more?

Yes you can, but you have to contact them via email or their web site. Just explain and ask them to release your license. I've done it on numerous occasions.

Win7 is very compatible, even with old hardware, just install and run windows update or use a program like Driver Genius, You could also try a stripped down version if you have low ram on the lappy.
Either that or upgrade your hardware.

Err ofcourse, you on crack?
XP still holds the biggest % of users.
Well,I have called Microsoft support in CROATIA ( tel. 0800 300 300 ) and they said that I CAN NOT GET activation code because HD2 is not supposed to run Windows 7,so it seems it is ILLEGAL operation to port Windows 7 on HD2.
In Microsoft support told me that activation code is on the battery of every Windows 7 device.(!?)
Any other ideas or solution ?
Just tell them that You have a HD7.

At a first, I told them I have HD7 and they told me that activation number is sticked under battery.Every Windows7 device has activation code on the battery or coveredge beneath.
So, I presume that there would be great to have some activation generator application.
I need it activated because I do have some ideas about Windows 7 theme development.So far, so good.
Ring them back and tell them you rang HTC looking for the activation code and they told you to ring Microsoft. If they say there should be an activation code on your battery, tell them there's none there. Tell them HTC said they can't issue you an activation code as this has to be done by Microsoft.
Another option is to email them asking for the code or try using Microsoft chat.
Good luck
Thank you.I will try through e-mail support.It is stupid situation indeed.it said :"It is not avaluable in my country".
I have developer tools installed and I am prepared and ready for developing Windows 7 UI,but that activation is a little bit frustrating.
UPDATE .
I give up from developing Windows 7 platform...Rolling back to developing WM6.5

I want to unlock this phone from Vodafone, the unlock services are asking for a MEP code.
They say its listed beind the battery (not keen t pull it apart), in a secret menu but instuctions relate to Blackberry OS device not Blackberry android or using MEP reader. I've tried the reader with no luck, the BB drivers are installed, the software looks old and I'm on Win 10 so may the issue?
Anyone know how to get the MEP code or reader working?
