(1) Limitations
 1-1 Editor
  (Editor)
   - Text may be displayed one-dot away from the specified position in the 
     Edit screen of the Editor when it uses Stroke Font with its font 
     settings set as follows:
       -Text Attribute: Outline
       -Text Size: 7 or 8
     However, the text is displayed properly on a Display unit.
   - Turning on/off GP410* Series when it is connected to a PC with 
     a USB transfer cable may cause the PC not to recognize the GP410* 
     Series in rare cases. In that case, run "Scan for hardware changes" 
     in Device Manager.  
   - Data may not be written properly when the data type is set to BCD 
     in the Time Schedule - Mode - Word Write Value settings. Please use
     Bin as the data type. 
   - The data size may increase when multiple Image parts referencing the 
     same image are placed, and, in the settings of one of those Image parts,
     "Compress" is selected. To reduce the data size, enable "Compress" 
      in the settings of all the Image parts.  
   - In Graph parts, when Alarm Setting is enabled and Alarm Action is set 
     to Address in the Normal Graph - Color settings, the triangle-shaped 
     marks are displayed beside the graph but do not work properly when Data 
     Type is BCD or Float. Please use Bin as the data type when using
     the triangle marks. 
   - Input cannot be done in Chinese in rare cases when the Chinese IME is 
     used on a computer in which the .NET Framework 2.0. service pack has not
     been installed.
   - The Arc/Pie drawing in the editor and that on the display unit may differ 
     if the difference between the start angle and the end angle is small. 
     Use the Simulation to confirm the behavior on the display unit.   
   - The USB Storage Destination path set up in [Project]-[Information]- 
     [Project Information]-[Destination] in the Editor is not set as default 
     in the Transfer Tool. 
   - When Alarm settings are imported from a CSV file in which symbol arrays
     are set, the largest array index number of each array symbol is registered
     as the Count value in the symbol variable settings. If the largest array 
     index value is less than 5, 5 is registered as the Count value.

 1-2 Display Unit
  (Runtime)
   <System Settings>
    - If the clock data (year, month, day, hours, and minutes) in the 
      system data area is zero-cleared through a PLC reset, the clock data 
      may not be reset from GP. 
   <Image Font>
    - Even when image fonts are used in Data Displays (Text Display), it 
      is not possible to display/input characters other than the standard 
      font character codes supported by the specified display language.
   <Movie Storage>
    - Long-time FTP storing (maximum 12 hours) may lead to a storing failure.
   <Common Settings>
    - When a Text Table has been expanded without Expansion Memory set,
      an error is displayed after a project transfer and it does not 
      work. However, text using image fonts is displayed in the 
      following features: Text, Switches/Lamps, Keys, Selector Lists, 
      and Message Displays.
    - When Special Switches for Alarm and Sampling are set up for Global 
      Functions, they do not work. 
   <Drawing>
    - In the case of a model that do not support Animation, a fixed drawing 
      is displayed behind Switch/Lamp parts with Lamp/Interlock/Delay
      display feature enabled even if it is placed in front of the Switch/
      Lamp parts.
   <Switch Lamp>
    - The drawing of a switch is not updated to the In Delay state
      if the OFF Delay feature of the switch is used with the screen 
      change function and the screen change occurs during the OFF Delay.
    - When a window is closed by using a switch with OFF Delay feature,
      touching another switch during the delay causes the tag scan 
      to stop until the touch is released.
    - Operation of a Special Switch set as a Start Monitor Switch is 
      logged as a Bit Switch in Operation Log.
   <Selector List>
    - In the case of logging the Selector List operation, it is logged as
      the operation of the switch feature set up for the Selector List.  
   <Historical Trend Graph>
    - In the Historical Data Display feature, it may take time until the 
      cursor is displayed.
    - When a Fill Pattern such as Cross Pattern is used, filling in black 
      cannot be done in some cases. To prevent this problem, take the 
      following steps: Select System Settings > Display Unit > Extended 
      Settings > press [Compatibility] and turn on the "Filling in Parts" 
      checkbox.
   <Alarm>
    - When multiple Alarms are set to be triggered by the same condition
      with Alarm Type set to Extended, the display order of the Alarms may
      change.
   <Picture Display>
    - In the CF Image Display, when Display Method is set to Specify File 
      Name and Specification Method is set to Address, images may not be 
      displayed because the file name cannot be acquired properly depending 
      on the Text Data Mode. 
   <Sampling Data Display>
    - Reverse display is not performed properly when edit is done in 
      a Sampling Data Display if the font has not been transferred that 
      is set up in the Language setting of the Sampling setting and 
      in the Font Type setting of the Sampling Data Display.   
   <File Manager Part>
    - When transfer is performed while the Play switch of the Movie Player 
      is repeatedly pressed, movies selected from the File Manager cannot 
      be played after completion of the transfer.
    - When Text Data Mode is set to 3 or 6-8 with Address selected for the
      default path, the path cannot be recognized properly because the
      data is read from the last part of a specified number of characters.
   <Animation>
    - Data Displays (Input Display) do not support Animation features.
    - Values being input in a Data Display that is placed on the front 
      layer are not displayed in the Input Display.
    - Lamps placed on the front layer become invisible when more than 
      the set number of states are input.
   <Simulation>
    - Global Window in which Bulletin Messages are set is not displayed
      if Global Window Operation is set to Indirect with System Data Area 
      set. 
    - Global Window is not displayed if Sub Display Type is set to Window 
      Screens and Window Settings is set to Global in the Text Alarm Sub 
      Display setting with System Data Area set.
    - Data is saved in CF Card when data saving is performed in Simulation
      when "Save in" is set to "USB Storage" for Screen Capture in the 
      Display Unit - Mode settings. 
   <Ethernet Multilink>
    - When Memory Link Type (#MEMLINK) is the only Device/PLC, certain
      values (shown below) in the Slave's relay area cannot be acquired.
      Values other than those can be acquired from the corresponding
      system variables.
    - System Data Area (0 to 14)
    - Special Relay Area (2032 to 2034, 2037, 2039 to 2047, 2054, 2055,
      2062 to 2073, 2075 to 2095)
    - 9000 Area (9000 to 9309, 9311 to 9399, 9528 to 9999)
      As for a workaround, you can add a device/PLC and allocate the LS 
      device to acquire values from the relay area of the LS device.

 1-3 Device/PLC
  <Digital Electronics Corporation General Ethernet>
   - A screen image showing Control Area 1 in the Device/PLC Connection 
     Manual is partly incorrect. It is designed that Port No. of Control
     Area 1 cannot be changed in the offline screen.  
  <Fuji Electric Corporation MICREX-SX Series>
   - In the address input dialog, the display of a variable name is not 
     updated until the dialog is closed when you select a worksheet in 
     which the variable is not defined.
   - If a Derived Data Type/Array name is edited, a data type/array is
     newly created with the new name. 
   - When no variable data has been defined, creating variable data 
     twice or more times in a row without closing the Individual Device 
     Settings dialog causes the Use Variable Data setting to become
     disabled. 
   - It takes time to complete the import of a CSV file in which a large
     amount of variable data is defined.   
  <Rockwell Automation EtherNet/IP>
   - When a L5K file is imported on a Norwegian OS (Windows XP Pro), 
     an error occurs saying that the format is incorrect. 
     Set the "Standards and formats" setting to "English" 
     in Control Panel <Regional and Language Options> 
     Regional Options Tab.
  <RKC INSTRUMENT INC. Temp. Controller>
   - When HA Series is used, the identifier "TM" cannot be used. 
  <ODVA  DeviceNet Slave>
   - When you use the device monitor function, Please do not input 
     the character of 32 or more to the device address. 
 
 1-4 Win GP
  <Print>
   - In printing Thai, characters are printed in proportional fonts and 
     tables (ruled lines) such as of CSV Displays are broken.
  <Recipe>
   - In the CSV data transfer, no error occurs even when data is transferred 
     to USB memory with no free space.
  <File Manager Part>
   - The display of folder/file names in FileManager may become invalid
     when the Default Path feature is used with the root folder ([C:\] etc.)
     specified in [Destination Folder]-[USB Storage].
     Specify a folder other than the root folder when using
     the Default Path feature.
  <Floating Point Arithmetic>
   - The floating point arithmetic result in WinGP (Simulation) may be 
     different from that of GP-Pro EX Ver.2.10 or earlier.
  <Installer>
   - Delete the following virtual registry if any previous version of WinGP
     has ever been installed on the installation target PC whose
     OS is Windows Vista:
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\VirtualStore\Machine\SOFTWARE\
      Pro-face\Pro-Server EX\
  <Other>
   - WinGP can work not only on the target IPCs but also on ordinary PCs 
     and other IPCs. However, depending on the specifications of those PCs 
     and IPCs, the software may operate slowly or the CPU utilization may 
     become high. 

(2) When Serial No. and License Key Code are not input
 - Project data cannot be transferred to the operation of graphical touch panels
   (except GP4100 series, IPCs and PC-ATs (Used WinGP)).
 - Transfer using the Transfer Tool is not available for WinGP. However, using 
   ProjectCopy, you can copy screen data and get it to work. 
   To use ProjectCopy, click [Start]-[All Programs]-[Pro-face]-[WinGP]-
   [ProjectCopy] on the Windows desktop screen.
   However, note that ProjectCopy cannot be used in the following cases:
    - when system data has not been transferred
