CalTesterPlus Hardware Requirements

Computer Requirements

CalTesterPlus runs under Microsoft Windows XP and above as a 32 bit application. It even runs on a netbook with an Atom processor and 256MB of memory. But naturally, more powerful and advanced hardware is best. We recommend having 2GB or more of memory and dual-core processors or better.

CalTesterPlus runs under a Mac OSX.

Most web browsers will offer you a choice of where to save the downloaded file. Make sure you remember where you save the downloaded file.

NOTE: Do NOT download the license file directly to C:\. There is a "quirk" in Windows 7 security that prohibits this. Download somewhere else and copy the file afterwards.

Run the installation executable file you downloaded.

Installing

When you run the executable file that you downloaded you will be guided though the following steps. (If updating CalTesterPlus, just install right over top the existing installation. Your settings will remain intact - there is no need to uninstall or deactivate licenses first.)

1. Your computer will confirm that you trust the source of the program you are installing. Select Run in order to continue installing CalTesterPlus.

2. You will be asked to select either English or French as the language to be used for installation.

3. The Setup Wizard will be activated and it will be recommended that you quit all other applications before continuing. Note that this page tells you what version you are installing.

4. You will then be presented with the licensing agreement. It is very important that you read it before continuing.

5. You will then be presented with an Information window that has copyright information and details of what has been improved for the current version.

6. You will then be asked to confirm, or chose, where you would like to install the program.

7. You will then be asked to confirm, or chose, where you would like to install the program's shortcut.

8. You will then be asked if you would like to create a desktop shortcut icon to facilitate access to the program.

9. You will then be present with a summary of where files and shortcuts will be installed. This is your last chance to go back and change your installation choices.

10. You will then need to wait as the program completes the installation on your computer. The process is complete when the green bar reached 100%. You will be moved automatically to the next step. If you press Cancel during this process the installation process will be stopped.

11. When the Completed dialogue appears CalTesterPlus has been successfully installed on your computer. If you leave the checkbox selected CalTesterPlus will be opened automatically, after you click the Finish button.

License Key

On launching the application for the first time, users will be prompted to enter a license key. This is to allow C-Motion to help ensure that the software is authorized. After this information has been entered once, the application will go straight to its main screen on successive launches. For more information on activating CalTesterPlus see below.

Activation / Deactivation

The first time that you attempt to use CalTesterPlus you will need to activate the program. The instructions for activating CalTesterPlus are listed below, once the program is activated you will not need to repeat these steps again unless the program is deactivated. Each of the Licensing keys can only be used on one computer at a time. If you wish to use the Licensing key on another computer you will need to deactivate CalTesterPlus on the computer that the Licensing key is being used on (instructions are below.) You can then use that key to activate the program on another computer.

Activation

1. In order to activate CalTesterPlus click on the icon to open the program.

2. If the program needs to be activated you will be presented with the "Enter Licensing Key" Dialogue box.

3. Entre your licensing key into the text field. It is a string of four sets of four numbers (ie. #### - #### - #### - ####) which is normally e-mailed to you when you initially purchased CalTesterPlus. The number can also be found on the c-motion website when you login to your customer's download page. Once you press the Activate button CalTesterPlus will be launched. If you press the Cancel button CalTesterPlus will close without being activated.

Deactivation

1. In order to deactivate the licensing key you need to open the About window by clicking on the About button at the bottom right of the screen.

2. Once the About window is open you need to click the "Deactivate Application" button located at the bottom right of the dialogue box.

3. A dialogue box will appear in order to confirm that you want to deactivate your licensing key. Click Yes to continue otherwise you will be returned to the About window.

4. The final window will appear to inform you that the licensing key has been successfully deactivated. When you press OK CalTesterPlus will be closed and the process will be complete.
