Installing INPLOT
 

This is the process from Windows Internet Explorer.

Click on the download link on the i-Logic web page.

A dialog box will ask you what to do with it. Press "Run".

File will download.

Then it will ask you if you want to run this setup program. Press "Run".

The setup files are digitally signed for security. This way, you can know the file is the real file from i-Logic Software. It should say the Publisher is "i-Logic Software". If it doesn't, something is wrong.

The setup program starts. Press "Next".

Press the "I accept the agreement" button, then press "Next".

This will show the normal default installation folder. Use this. Press "Next"

Press "Install"

Finished. If the "Launch application" is checked, Inplot will start when you press "Finish"

The software will not be registered until you enter the registration number. Until then, it will be able to run for 30 times. You can check on the Main Menu - Help - Registration for current status.

Registering INPLOT

On the Main Menu go to Help - Registration.

When Inplot is first installed, it is in Trial Mode, which only allows it to run 30 times. A registration code must be purchased and installed for it to run permanently..

When you purchase Inplot over the internet, you will receive a Registration Code or Activation key that will turn your trial version of Inplot into a permanently registered version.

When you enter the registration code into the box and press "Continue", Inplot will be permanently registered.

Once you have registered the software, you can update to the latest version by downloading the trial version from the web and installing it without uninstalling first. It will still remember the registration.

If the software needs to be re-installed, you can use the same registration number you obtained at purchase.

Installing on a central server - If you want to run Inplot from a central server, you will have to make some adjustments to the installation.

Inplot first looks for the configuration files in the local shared folder and if that doesn't exist, then looks in the installed program folder. So if you want everyone to share the same configuration, you can put all the files in the main installation folder.

The installation puts the configuration files in the public shared folder, which is:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\i-Logic\Inplot 
on WindowsXP and
C:\Users\Public\Documents\i-Logic\Inplot 
on Vista.

Take all those files in there and move them to the installation folder, which is:
C:\Program Files\i-Logic\Inplot
 Then when Inplot is started from a remote machine it will be able to find its configuration files. This folder will have to be writable.

Or, if you want to have each user with its own local settings, then you have to create that public shared folder and its files on that local machine.

When starting Inplot on the remote machine the first time, it may need administrator privileges. This is because it is writing information to the local machine registry. After the first time it will not need administrator privileges to run.
