Installing SAFE software


Applies to: [SAFE] Release 2.0
Last updated: Friday June 20, 2008.


SUMMARY

This Tech Note provides you with the information necessary to install your SAFE software from a CD. 

Note: It is always advisable that you close down any programs that maybe running on your system prior installing any new software. This is especially true when installing SAFE.


PROCEDURE

  1. Place the CD in the CD drive and close the door. If it does not start the auto-install in a few seconds go on the desktop to my computer. Select the drive where the CD is. From the main menu, select the SETUP.EXE file.

    The install process should start.

    Use the defaults unless you have significant computer knowledge and a very good reason to change them.

    Chose to restart the computer at the end of the installation process. This will make sure that Windows will register all of the files in the registry. If the files aren't registered, the program will not work.

    You have now completed the installation process.

  2. Registering the program.

    Every time you start the program you will get a registration screen. SAFE will allow you a fixed number of days or uses before it will stop working. This is a full working version of the SAFE program, any work you do now will still be there after you have register the software. You can register on our website at www.redqueensoftware.com. Registration could take a few days, so it is important that you register as soon as you install the software.

    The software will generate a registration number on the computer screen. It is that generated number that you will use for the registration process. Each number generated is unique, so a number generated on one computer will not work for another computer.

    Once you have completed the registration process on our website, you will enter the number that we return to you and your registration will be complete.

  3. Browse the sample data that comes with the program.

    After you have viewed the examples listed in the sample database you can delete the sample data and start to input your own items. You must manually delete the image files found in the following subdirectory \\Program Files\Red Queen Software\SAFE\Pictures that were associated with the sample data.

Do not delete all of the sample data until you have added at least one of your own items or the database may not work!

Now you are ready to start protecting all of your valuable assets with SAFE.

Enjoy!
