PlanePlotter version 6.4.1.8 - Reg no. 5XXXX [0] - Sharecode –
Authentication code : 3XXXXXXXX
Installation serial number PPXXXXXX
Says everything is ok, sharing enabled but when i go into the sharing config the share code is ‘–’
Share codes are used to identify the originator of shared data. They consist of two symbols: a letter followed by a letter or number. Share codes are case sensitive; “aa” is not the same as “aA”.
All new installations of Plane Plotter default to a share code of “–”. If and when you share data and upload any aircraft, the system will allocate a unique share code to your Plane Plotter installation. If you only download data, or until such time as your new installation uploads aircraft data, it will not be allocated a share code and you will retain the default share code “–”.
Note: The system allocates a unique share code only after it is established that the installation is going to be uploading a significant number of aircraft. This will take less than a minute for a Mode-S receiver with a decent antenna, but it could take a while for a user who is only decoding ACARS (with infrequent position reports) or one who has their antenna in a safe in the basement. It is therefore possible, but unusual, to see “–” as the origin of a message and would be most likely to occur in a low density area (in terms of traffic or users) or from an isolated and perhaps new or infrequent ACARS decoder.
You cannot change your share code and it will remain exclusively yours for as long as you connect regularly to the sharing system. If you do not use the sharing system for several weeks, the share code will be cancelled and it will be allocated to another user. If you later access the sharing system again and upload aircraft data, you will be allocated a new share code at that time.
It perhaps also needs to be explained that the system’s record of allocated share codes is separate from the database in the Plane Plotter user group. The group database is only accurate and complete to the extent that the respective users keep it so. The fact that the group database says a code is, or is not, in use, is no guarantee that the system will concur.
