Downloading & Installing AnyOrder . . . Installing the Program for the First Time (If you are re-installing the program, see re-installation instructions) Follow the procedure, below, to install the program for the first time. Download the Program. First, you'll need to download the program. To do so, click on the appropriate link found here: Download Program The file that you will be downloading will be named ao4pro10.exe, ao5pro11.exe, or similar. The file is called a self-extracting zip file. It's a compact zip file that contains all of the program and data files necessary to run AnyOrder. When you click on the download link, the download process will begin. At the this point, most browsers will ask whether you want to save the file or run it. Select the save option. You'll be asked to save the file to a directory. Remember to which directory you save the file. Activating the Download File. Once the download has finished, there are a couple of ways to activate the self-extracting zip file that you've downloaded. If you save it to your desktop, an icon will be placed on the desktop. Double-click on the icon to begin the process. Or, if you saved it to one of your directories, you'll need to find that directory and double-click on the file name. How do you find a directory? One way is to use Windows Explore to view the directories on your computer. You can access Explore by RIGHT clicking on the START button and selecting "Explore" from the menu that appears. When you activate Explore, look through the directories and find the directory where download file (i.e. ao5pro11.exe) has been saved. Highlight the file, and then double click on it. That starts the process of installing. Installation Procedure. When you activate the download file as described above, a small dialog box will appear. You'll be asked to click on the "Set-up" button. Click on it. The zipped files will be unzipped and the main installation program will start. You'll be greeted by a license agreement. Read it over and make sure you agree with the terms. If you do, click on YES. Following the license agreement is an introductory message. Click on OK. At that point, you'll be asked to install the program to the directory: C:\AnyOrder. We highly recommend that you use C:\AnyOrder (or D:\AnyOrder or whatever is appropriate on your system). We do not recommend using C:\Program Files\AnyOrder. You can use C:\Program Files, of course, but it does limit AnyOrder. You won't be able to use either the secondary printer engine or the alternative modem engine, both of which can be very useful for certain processes. NOTE: Always install AnyOrder to its own directory such as C:\AnyOrder or D:\AnyOrder. Never install it to a directory which is used by other programs. For example, you should never install it to the C:\ directory or the D:\ directory which are both used by many other programs. Accept the directory, and the installation will run through to completion. When it's completed, you'll need to close out of a couple of dialog boxes to get back to the Windows desktop. Installing the Program on a Network. The help documentation that comes with the program provides full and complete details on installing the program on a network. To reach this information, start the program and select HELP >> HELP CONTENTS from the menu and click on "Networking." Starting the Program. At this point, you'll see on the Window desktop an icon for AnyOrder. To start the program, double click on the AnyOrder icon. We've combined the Level II and III (and Level IV and V) programs together. If you are evaluating the program, you'll have access to all of the features of both programs. For a comparison of features, see short & sweet comparison, or detail narrative, or comprehensive comparison charts. Because of piracy problems, some features are turned off on the evaluation version, but if you need access to them, drop us a note and we'll provide you with a temporary code.) Registering the Program. AnyOrder is shareware. That means you can download the program and take all of the time you need to evaluate it. If you decide that it's not what you need, it can be uninstalled easily by using the uninstall program. No registration is necessary. If you decide that you'd like to use the program in your business, you'll need to register it. To register the program, click on the registration link found on the "welcome" page that appears when you first start the program. When you register the program, you will receive a registration code. There are two ways to enter the registration code: 1. Click on the "Enter Registration Code" button found at the bottom of the AnyOrder "Welcome" page.Note that the registration code is keyed to your company name. Make sure that the name is exactly the same as the company name that you provided when you registered. The spelling must be exactly the same. Abbreviations such as "Co," "Ltd," etc. must be the same. And punctuation must be the same (such as the period in "Inc.") When you enter the correct registration code, you'll get a message saying "Thank You." The next time you start the program, you'll see the name of the program for which you've registered on top of the Main Invoice Screen. |
