I've got an archive of MiamiDX 1.0C with MiamiSSL and international SSL libraries here (http://amiga.serveftp.net/downloads.html).  You just need to add your keyfiles.

I'll assume you'll be wanting to set up Samba as well for network file/printer sharing, give me a yell if you need a hand with it as I have a live working setup you can copy via FTP.
Also refer to the well written Amiga Samba guide here (http://samba.amigaworld.net).

Else just use SMBFS (http://www.aminet.net/package.php?package=comm/tcp/smbfs.lha) to mount network shares as a volume or device on the Amiga.  A *lot* easier than dealing with Samba.

I think you just need to put the key files where they belong to turn that demo to an registered version - if they are for the same version.

I think that the last post from "zipper" to ad the keyfile is correct if i remember.  :-D

If you want to get them transfers between your PC and your Amiga to get speedier, or if you simply won't get your Miami DX up and running, I would recommend you to dowload the latest free AmiTCP, though... the increase in speed is definitely worth it.

The keyfiles need to be in the same directory as the Miami executable, NOT in "S:" or "L:" or "Envarc:" or "LIBS:".


Secondly, they must be correctly named and the right type of icon.  The filenames must be correct and are case sensitive, as follows:

Miami.key1
Miami.key2

Also, MiamiSSL will refuse to install in demo mode, so you need to get the keys right before SSL will work.  When you do get it going, for SSL to work you need to have the encryption library installed in "Miami:Libs", NOT "Sys:Libs".

One more thing.  They keyfiles must be "project" icons.
