General notes:
- It is better not to use Win98 to upgrade HWK module. Please use Win2k/XP only because Upgrade client was developed for these OS'es
- Old UFS and HWK software versions will not work after HWK module, new software versions will also not work with not updated HWK module
- Please disable all antivirus and firewall softwares before upgrade
- Before running upgrade client it is recommended to set screen resolution to not less than 1024x768 and font size to Normal
- NEVER publish your UFS and HWK serial numbers on forum
- Please pay attention to the message, that is shown by software at the end of upgrade procedure. If it is - 'Update successful, use Client again to authorize HWK', you should run upgrade client again to authorize your HWK module (actually - repeat operation).

- to 'sweet free soft lovers' and cloned HWK module owners: I cannot activate anything, add anybody to anywhere, restore your HWK module or transmute water to wine. I am tired already of messages with questions about cloned modules restoration.
