Installation and Activation
PDF Converter Professional 5 detects previous versions and components
and prompts for your confirmation to remove them. You should have
administrator rights on the computer to install and activate the program.
You need web access for activation.
1. Insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive
The installation program will start automatically. If it does not, locate
your CD-ROM drive in Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Explorer and
double-click the converter's AutoRun.exe file. Select a language for
installation. The InstallShield
®
Wizard will appear.
(If you have downloaded the program from the Nuance web site,
double-click its AutoRun.exe file.)
2. License and Serial Number
You must accept the license agreement in order to proceed. You must
enter a serial number. You will find this on the CD sleeve or on the
Nuance web site at the download location. Serial numbers never include
the letter “O”, always use zero.
Be sure to keep the serial number in a safe place; it is fully checked only
during product activation and is also needed for any re-installations.
3. Location and Setup Type
The installer offers a default location for the program. Accept it or define
a different one. Select Complete or Custom Setup. Choose Custom to
accept or decline installation of the PDF unlocking component. Choose
Custom also to enable or disable the integration of PDF Converter and
PDF Create! in other programs. By default, all the programs offered in the
PDF Converter Professional Integration panels of the InstallShield
Wizard will be enabled. (You can change integration settings later by
choosing the program under Add or Remove Programs in the Control
Panel and clicking Change and then Repair.)
