The program is the same for a standalone installation as for a portable installation, it is only the licence that changes.

To change the licence type run Changelicencetype.exe in the program directory (default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerMation\Poles ‘n’ Wires) and select the portable option. Then click Apply.

If this procedure does not work you can change the licence type manually:

  1. go to the Data directory C:\ProgramData\PowerMation\PolesnWires
  2. open the file pnw.ini with a text editor eg notepad
  3. find the line “licencetype”: “0”,
  4. change the number to 1
  5. save and close the file

Be careful when editing pnw.ini. If you make a mistake your Poles ‘n’ Wires installation will fail to start.
