Immediate Delivery
of the Activation Key
for Paymate Purchasers
  

  1. Download the ZIP file containing the installation program for the trial or demo version.
  2. Unzip that file and run the .exe file to install the software.
  3. Run the software; an 'Activate this software' window appears with three buttons.
  4. Click on the first button ('Purchase a user license'); this should bring up in your web browser a page with purchase options, one of which is for purchasing via Paymate.
  5. Click on the Paymate link; this takes you to our Paymate order page.
  6. Make the purchase and click on the 'Continue' button at the end.
  7. An email message containing an activation key will automatically be sent to your purchase email address.
  8. Open the email message, highlight the activation key given there, and copy it to the clipboard (a.k.a. the ClipBook).
  9. The 'Activate this software' window should still be open (if not then run the software again); click on the third button ('Get activation key from the clipboard').

Having completed the last step, the software is now activated (that is, fully-functional). For a fuller explanation of each step read on.

  1. Download the trial or demo version.

    On each product page there is a link to download the installation program for the trial or demo version. These download links are collected together here.

  2. Install the software.

    What is downloaded via the download page is an executable installer program (e.g., edc_setup.exe) which is contained in a ZIP file (e.g., edc_setup.zip). Locate this (using Windows Explorer) after downloading, and unzip the ZIP file to obtain the executable. Run this (by double-clicking on the program icon) to begin the installation process. After this is completed you can run the program from the Windows Start | Programs menu.

    The installation program must be run from an admin account (that is, an account with administrator privileges) because it installs the Visual Basic system files. No other files are written to any system folder.

  3. Run the software; a window appears with three buttons.

    If, for now, you are mainly interested in seeing how the software looks and getting an idea of what it can do then you can just close this window (you can return to it via the 'Activate this software' button on the main screen).

  4. Click on the 'Purchase a user license' button.

    After (but not before) you have examined the trial or demo version and are reasonably sure that it will do what you need it to do then click on the first button to go to our Paymate order page.

  5. Click on the Paymate link; this takes you to our Paymate order page. Enter your credit card details (this form is secure) and make the purchase. At the end click on the 'Continue' button.

  6. A 'Thanks for your Payment' web page on our site should then appear, and an email message will have been sent to your purchase email address.

  7. Open the email message, highlight the activation key (it is sufficient to highlight any block of text which contains the activation key) and copy it to the clipboard (using control-C or the Copy command in your email program).

  8. If the 'Activate this software' window is still open click on the third button.

    If the window is not still open then click on the 'Activate this software' button to open it.

    If the software is not running, then run it.

    In any of these three cases the software will get the activation key from the clipboard.

    The software is now activated (that is, fully-functional), and normally you will not need to activate the software (but keep the email message containing it, just in case).
