ActiCalc installation instructions


NOTICE: Effective April 4, 2003, we have adopted a new software protection system.  Any license keys provided for earlier releases will not work with any newly downloaded ActiCalc versions.  If you are a licensed ActiCalc user and want to use the newest versions, please email sales@acticalc.com for a free replacement license key.
 
Step 1: Download actic25.zip from this web site. If your browser gives a choice between running the program and saving to disk, choose save to disk, then store the file in a temporary folder.
Step 2: If you are currently a registered user, write down your registration information (name and registration code). If you do not know this information, you can find it by starting Acticalc, and going to the Help-About menu. If you have lost this information altogether, please contact us.
Step 3: If you currently have a version of ActiCalc installed, you should uninstall it. You can do this by using the control panel (Start - Settings - Control Panel). On the control panel, launch the "Add/Remove Programs" function. Select "ActiCalc" from the list, then press the "Add/Remove" button.
Step 4: Unzip the zip file (from step 1) into a temporary folder. Then run the SETUP.EXE file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Step 5: Launch ActiCalc.  You will see a reminder screen that includes an "Enter Key" button.  If you're a registered user, click on this button and enter your license information into the fields provided.  Otherwise, press the "OK" button to use all the basic capabilities of the program.
Windows XP users: A small percentage of Windows XP users have experienced a problem where the setup program hangs and does not complete the installation.  We are developing a different installation process that will solve this problem.  Any Windows XP users who experience this setup problem are encouraged to use the new setup procedure.  For this, simply download actic25.EXE, then double-click on that file to complete the installation.  Please email support@acticalc.com to report any problems.
