Instructions for the Installation and Online Activation of Program on a Single Computer
Online Activation of Program
Step 1 - Download Program installation program
Login to ELIS and download the latest Program installation program. You can find all installation programs on the page "Downloads".
Step 2 - Prepare the activation code
For the Online Activation, you will need to know:
- The number of your license
- The activation code
- The Program Level (Edition) you want to activate
You can find all the information in ELIS on the page "Licenses and Workplaces".
Step 3 - Install Program on your computer
- Program installation program is a self-extracting file, created in InstallShield (for example HYDRUS3D_2.02.0670.exe). Once you double-click on it, it will automatically unpack into a temporary directory and start running Setup. Follow the instructions provided by SetUp.
- The installation program will ask you for destination directories for the Program program files and data files (Program projects and settings). Remember that Program projects should be located in a directory that is fully accessible for reading/writing/deleting of files.
- At the end of the installation process, check the "Launch Program" check box, which will start Program.
Step 4 - Activate Program
Program is protected either by a Software Lock that is based on information about the hardware on which it is run or using a Hardware Key (HASP). If you have not purchased a license protected by HASP, you need to activate Program, otherwise the Program works as a demo version.
- If Program is not already running, run it "As Administrator", i.e. click on the Program icon by right mouse button and select "Run as administrator".
- Go to the main menu and click on the command "Help->Program License and Authorization"
- In the "Program Authorization" dialog, press the button "Activate online".
- In the "Online Activation" dialog, enter your License number, Activation Key and select the purchased Program level that you want to activate. It is recommended to fill also the "Computer Description" field.
- Press the button "Activate Now". If you are prompted to allow Program to connect to the internet, allow it. The activation process is finished by a message confirming the successful activation or displaying the reason of failure. If you need a help, please contact Program customer support.
- Please note that you have to deactivate Program before any hardware changes and reinstallation of Windows (see details at Deactivation of Program).
