Introduction

During the installation process, the Trial Version of the ErgoSoft RIP must be activated over the internet or prepared for later activation.

The following documentation describes the installation and different activation methods de-pending on the internet access status of the RIP computer.

Activation over the internet during the installation process In order to use this method, the computer on which the ErgoSoft RIP is being installed,

must have access to the internet during the installation process.

Activating the ErgoSoft RIP later This method allows preparing for activation during the installation process and finishing

the activation later.

Starting the Installation

Whether you received your installation se-tup on a CD or you downloaded it from our website, the installation process is the same. Please launch the installation wizard by selecting the installation of the Ergo-Soft RIP in the main page of the installa-tion CD or by double clicking on the down-loaded setup.exe file.

Selecting the Installer Language

Before the installation process can begin you have to select which language the installation wizard should be displayed in. Please select the preferred language and confirm your selec-tion by clicking the OK button.


The Installation Wizard

The wizard will guide you through the installation of the ErgoSoft RIP. It is recommended that you close all other applications before starting the setup. This will make it possible to update relevant system files without having to reboot your computer.

The installation process has several steps. Proceed from one step to the next one by clicking the Next button.

License Agreement

Please review the license terms before installing the ErgoSoft RIP. You must accept the agreement before installation will begin.

To accept the terms of the agreement, click I Agree and continue the installation.

Choose Location for Program

Choose the folder in which to install the ErgoSoft RIP. We suggest installing the software in the recommended Destination Folder. To install in a different folder, click Browse and select it.

Please note, that in this step you specify the installation folder. The folder for the User Data can be defined later in the instal-lation progress.


Select Setup Type

Select the setup type of the ErgoSoft RIP. Setup type “Dongle Version (Codemeter)” is the setup type for the retail version re-quiring a dongle (Codemeter) as well as a license. Setup type “Trial Version” is meant for a test version installation without don-gle but will still require a license.

Now, select setup type Trial Version and click the Next button.

Choose Start Menu Folder

Choose the Start Menu folder for the ErgoSoft RIP shortcuts. We suggest installing the shortcuts into the recommended folder.

Once you specified the Start Menu folder you can start the installation of the software by clicking Install.

The installation of the software might take some time so please be patient.

Choose User Data Folder

During the installation, a dialog will be displayed which allows you to choose the location of the User Data Folder in which all User Data will be saved. If you change the suggested folder please make sure that you do not use the same directory as for any previous version. As you can see on the suggested folder it is possible to use a subfolder of the previous versions user folder EsRip.

Click OK to confirm the selected folder.

When a previous version has been installed on the same system, the installation offers the possibility to copy the user settings from this version.

Activating the ErgoSoft RIP and Completing Installation

Please follow the instructions given by the installation wizard. When being asked for the software protection activation, the next steps depend on the activation method:

When having access to the internet on the computer on which you install

the ErgoSoft RIP Trial Version, click Yes and complete the installation as described in chapter “Activation during the Installa-tion Process”.

When not having access to the inter-net on the computer on which you

install the ErgoSoft RIP Trial Version, you have to prepare the activation by clicking No and completing the installation as described in chapter “Activating the ErgoSoft RIP later”.

Activation during the Installation Process

After having clicked the Yes button in the software protection activation window, the activa-tion is done automatically as long as the internet can be accessed from the installation soft-ware.

Activating the ErgoSoft RIP later

After having clicked the No button in the software protection activation window, the activa-tion must be done manually by preparing and performing it. When having a License Vouch-er, the activation and the license request can be done in the same procedure.

Preparing the Activation

For preparing the activation, a WibuCmRaC file must be saved for later use. Click Browse Folder to access a dialog for navigat-ing on your system in order to save the Protection Acti-vation file somewhere you will be able to re-access it later.

Click the Save button and continue the installation until the Completing the Setup Wizard window is shown in which you click the Finish button to finish the installation.

Performing the Activation (and Redeeming a License Voucher)

In order to perform the activation you need to copy the Protection Activation file to a data storage medium (e.g. USB stick) you can access from a computer with internet access.

On the com-puter with in-

ternet access, you have to login to your user account on the ErgoSoft homepage (or create a new user account). Go to page MyAccount.

Select Demo-version and

Get A Test Version.

Enter the number of the License Voucher and select the Protection Activation file (Wi-buCmRaC File) you saved before. When done, click the Request virtual dongle and

license button.

gle file and the Li-cense file are created. Then, click the download links (file names) and save both files.

Copy the files to a data sto-

rage medium that can be accessed from the computer on which the ErgoSoft RIP Trial Version is installed. The license file is needed later when the ErgoSoft RIP Trial Version is started the first time. The Virtual Dongle file is needed for finishing the activation.

Finishing the Activation

Now, the activation is finished and the ErgoSoft RIP Trial Version can be started.
