How to use?
Installing Adeona is easy. During installation it will ask for a password. Remember this password carefully as it will be required when you try to retrieve position of your laptop. Once installed Adeona will automatically start a background service. By default, the client sends update at randomly defined time, -usually an update every 30 mins. As the installation finishes it places an '.ost' file on the desktop. This is the file you will need, to determine the location of your laptop. It's recommended to backup up this file at a secure location away from your laptop, like on a CD or you can just email it to yourself.

Update results retrieved from Adeona server. Here it shows internal as well as external IP address of the laptop and name of the AP. It also shows details of nearby routers.

Now to determine the location of the laptop, you would need to run Adeona recovery tools. These tools are by default installed with the client, and can also be installed separately. Once you run this tool, it will ask for the '.ost' and password for the file. If authentication is successful, it will now connect to its server and try to retrieve the last IP address from which Adeona client had sent the update. Once it has retrieved the details, it will automatically save them on the desktop in a text file format. This will include the last IP address and names of nearby routers if available.
