Partner mode

[arnoud]

When you run the scan program in the partner mode:

1. The subject of the e-mail notification is partner scan instead of anonymous/reference scan, so you can see that you've done the scan yourself. This can also be seen in the online scan list;
   
2. You are prompted for a reference code (e.g. customer number, order number, maintenance contract), which is shown in the notification e-mail, the scan results and the online scan list;
   
3. Extra information is retrieved (e.g. product license keys). An explicit warning is shown.
   

The easiest way to run a scan in the partner mode, is by clicking the hidden link under the word "scan" in the disclaimer below the scan button (By running a scan you agree to these conditions). As the link is hidden, the mouse cursor won't change to a "hand", but you will see that the executable is downloaded (in partner environments only) as e.g. ScanCircleP_en_partnercode.exe. Please delete this file when finished, otherwise the end-user might run this version of the scan program as well.

Alternatively, you can download and run and interrupt a normal scan or run it in Manual mode and select the link more options or use the shortcut Ctrl+Z.

More features may be added to the partner mode in the future (eg. scan more data, more options, no scan limits). Partners are advised to always perform their own scans in the partner mode also because these are excluded from the Fair Use Policy. Using the hidden link, the end-user probably won't even notice it.
