When you install the software and run it the license agreement dialog opens. If you are using the
demonstration version then you can obtain a free key code to unlock it via the web using the
'Request Key' button which becomes active once you enter your email address in the 'Email' edit
field. The request key automatically generates a key code request, via the web, and delivers the
code directly back to your email box. Once the key code matching your email address is retrieved
from your email box and entered in the dialog 'Code' field the software can be run simply by
clicking to accept the terms and conditions and then pressing the 'Accept Agreement' button.
In the demo version all output capability has been removed. The demonstration version is
provided for evaluation purposes only and cannot be used commercially.

Demonstration Version
If you have the demonstration version you can go to the website to purchase a license using the
'BUY NOW ONLINE'
button in the middle of the dialog which invokes your default web browser
on the Revcad web page where you can make the purchase. When you purchase a license for
the software an email is sent to your registered email address giving you a URL link to download
the full version of the software. To install the full version you must first uninstall the demo version,
then install the full version.
Full Version
On startup the full version of the software opens an extended license agreement dialog that
allows you to enter your User name and Key code to unlock the software. You cannot proceed to
use the software unless it is first unlocked with a valid Key code. When you purchase the
software the email response contains a reminder of your chosen User name. The Key code
required to unlock the software is unique to both to this User name and to your computer. You
must therefore now obtain a Key code for your computer using the 'Renew' tab in the license
agreement dialog on startup.
Once you have requested and obtained the Key code via email for your User name on this
computer you can proceed to unlock the software. Enter you user name in the User edit field at
the bottom of the license dialog and enter the key code from the email renewal request in the Key field beneath it. Now press the 'Accept Agreement' button to unlock the software and proceed to
use the software. If the key code is correct a message will be issued confirming that the software
is now unlocked, or if the details are incorrect an error will be reported.
Once unlocked the license agreement dialog will not open when the software is started, but it is
always possible to re-open the license agreement dialog via the 'License' command in the Help menu and make another Key code renewal request to be sent to your registered Email address.
On occasions if the computer hardware or configuration changes significantly then it may be
necessary to repeat the process to obtain a new key code for the new setup, but this is unlikely to
happen often, if at all.
