A5.2 Managing C-MAP charts
A5.2.1 Licensing system used by the C-MAP
The licensing system used with C-MAP is based on serial numbered CD ROMs and authorisation codes received
from C-MAP Norway A/S. You choose either required C-MAP areas or zones and your electronic chart system
generates an operator code based on your selection, the serial number of the serial numbered C-MAP CD ROM and
the hardware identifier of your electronic chart system. You send the operator code to C-MAP Norway A/S and they
send to you an authorisation code. You enter the received authorisation code into the system then you can load and
convert the CM-93 charts into your system.
A5.2.2 Getting started with C-MAP charts
1. Choose automatic conversion into the SENC and setting of Display and Approve update dates automatically. See
section 8.4.2 Choosing automatic SENC conversion and displaying until date
2. Define your subscription of C-MAP charts. See section A5.2.4 Defining subscription of C-MAP charts.
3. Load C-MAP charts by CD ROM catalogue. See section A5.2.5 Loading C-MAP charts from a CD ROM into
the system.
A5.2.3 Keeping C-MAP charts up to date
At regular intervals C-MAP will reissue its charts to keep them up-to-date. There are neither edition number nor
update number in C-MAP charts, so the system recognises changed charts using issue date of the chart.
The procedure for loading the reissue is the same as loading of the C-MAP charts for the first time. If loaded chart is
already in the hard disk with older issue date, the system loads chosen newer chart automatically. Other possible
messages when loading C-MAP charts are explained in the section A5.2.5 Loading C-MAP charts from a CD ROM
into the system.
If you get a new release of a C-MAP CD ROM, do the following:
1. On the Chart menu, turn off automatic SENC conversion and turn on Automatic Display Until.
2. Load C-MAP charts by CD ROM catalogue. See section A5.2.5 Loading C-MAP charts from a CD ROM into
the system.
