== About the license certification ==
For illegal copy prevention, work connect to the server at the time of first start and license it, and to authenticate it.
The following things are thought about when error "999" appears at the time of the license certification.

* Because communication facility becomes invalid, certification processing is not possible.
-> Please validate communication facility. It is OK in WiFi.
* Because "market" application gives an error, certification processing is not possible.
-> May be recovered when you uninstall update of the (Android) "Market" application.
-> When the password of "Accounts & sync" of the setting window is not input or disappear, it occurs.
When you hold "Accounts & sync" of the setting window, and it is demanded password input, it is thought that it is caused by this.
