11.3 Installation for Windows
It is good practice to quit all unnecessary programs running before beginning the installation procedure. In
some instances, it may be required that antivirus programs be disabled.
Software installation can be done either from a file downloaded from our website or from an installation disc
provided with the product. To install from the disc, simply open the CD/DVD drive and insert the installation disc.
A setup wizard window should be launched. In case there is none, open the Explorer and navigate to the CD/
DVD drive. Double click on the Setup file.
Once the wizard is running, simply follow the prompts until the installation process is completed.
For installation from the Web, launch your browser application and download the setup file to your hard drive.
After completion of the downloading process, run the setup program to execute the setup wizard that will
handle the automatic installation of the software.
After the installation procedure has been completed and the setup wizard has terminated, it is best to reboot
your machine before launching the newly installed software.
