About Owner Card-based Registration ----------------------------------- In Tempo uses Owner Card registration. This requires that your registered name appears on the active Owner Card. If you do temporarily switch to another Owner Card, In Tempo will give you a peaceful grace period to return to the registered Owner Card. If you do not switch to the original Owner Card within the grace period, In Tempo will then give you warnings on each use. However, once you do return to the original Owner Card and use In Tempo, the grace period will be reset. NewtonID -------- In Tempo is NewtonID aware, and will use it if it is present on your Newton device. If you later remove the NewtonID user name, In Tempo will use the Owner Card. NewtonID is an initiative proposed by Foundation Systems that provides a single stable user name to a Newton device. It requires that you install it in order to set your NewtonID user name. Once it is set, however, the software is not required and may be removed.
