(SerialMagic can be loaded from an SDIO card) Once the registration code is available, it is entered in the "Reg Code:" field of the SerialMagic Registration dialog, and the Registration Name is entered in the "Reg Name:" field, then tap OK. Remember the HotSync Name is case sensitive, and can include spaces. Be sure to use the exact name that is shown when requesting your registration code. In the above example the HotSync Name is "Davi Boy" with a single space between the "i" and the "B".
