Attachment B
AT&T has created the concept of "Prominent Placement". Prominent Placement is
when the AT&T WorldNet Software is integrated in a prescribed manner. This
document outlines the rules for achieving this preferred status.
PROMINENT PLACEMENT PROFILE
The following is a list of required actions the vendor must take to achieve
Prominent Placement.
. Install AT&T WorldNet(R) Service during your product installation
Use supplied logo files for your splash screens, give it adequate
visibility, and allow the user to install AT&T WorldNet Service software
during your product install. Remember that our install might want the user
to re-boot, so plan on making it install last.
. Embed the Registration Code
This feature will auto-populate (invisible to the user) the registration code
filed during registration.
To embed the registration code, add the two lines indicated below in the
mediaxx.ini file. This file will actually be called media95.ini or
media31.ini for Win95 or Win3x installations respectively. This will allow
auto-population of the registration code during registration. Note that it's
just one registration code. If you were given a pair of codes (AT&T LD, and
other LD Company), use the AT&T LD code pair. Note - after 5/1/97, we will
only be issuing one code.
Here is what you need to add (if they don't already exist) to the end of
Media(31/95).ini file, replacing
"XXXXXXXXX" with your assigned 9 character registration code:
[Registration Server]
RegCodesXXXXXXXXX
. Create an icon in the program group that points to the AT&T WorldNet Service
software install program on you CD. For Windows-95, also create a menu item
under your heading.
This will allow the user to subscribe later on, if they didn't want to during
the initial install. If not done, the user would have to re-install your
program in order to install AT&T WorldNet Service software. The icon must be
the standard AT&T WorldNet shortcut icon, and the caption should say "install
AT&T WorldNet(R) Service"
. Incorporate the electronic Marketing insert
An electronic marketing insert is required for this program. If does come in
two formats; paper and electronic. The marketing insert contains AT&T
WorldNet Service warrantee information, your registration code, LD switch
information, and simple user installation instructions.
You must give the user the option to view it BEFORE starting the AT&T
WorldNet install. It is possible that this "readme" file is already a part of
AT&T WorldNets install (since we are working on it now). Please verify if
it's been done before doing it again.
