History

Decrypting

You plug the <item> into your computer and tell it to start decrypting. The software says it will probably require X minutes of uninterrupted work to finish the decryption. (Added for X minutes.)
  • Trying to decrypt an item while another was being decrypted, or while the software running was incorrect (for example from another window) yielded:
You can only decrypt an item if the computer is currently running decryption software and isn't busy doing some heavy decrypting at the moment. Either you're not running the right software, or the computer is busy, so it's not gonna work for you right now.
  • You could not replace a computer that was decrypting.
