Instructions for the Installation and Activation of Program on a Single Computer
Activation by e-mail
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 - 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 3 - Generate the authorization request
Program is protected either by a Software Lock that is based on information about the hardware on which it is run or, starting with version 2.02, using a Hardware Key (HASP). If you have not purchased a license protected by HASP, you need to activate HYDRUS, 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 by E-mail".
- In the dialog "Activation by E-mail", enter your License number, customer name, computer description and select the purchased Program level that you want to activate.
- Press the button "Generate Request Codes", which will generate unique two numbers needed for the activation of Program on the given computer.

Step 4 - Send the authorization request to Program customer support
- Press the button "Copy request codes to the clipboard...", paste your authorization request into an e-mail and send it to HYDRUS customer support support@pc-progress.cz.
- You can close the dialog and Program.

Step 5 - Enter the activation code
After receiving the activation code from PC-Progress customer support, enter it in the dialog "Activation by E-mail":
- If HYDRUS 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 by E-mail".
- In the dialog "Activation by E-mail", go to page "Step 3", enter the activation code and press the button "Activate Now". This will finish the activation process.
- Please note that you have to deactivate Program before any hardware changes or Windows reinstallation (see details at Deactivation of Program).
