equivalent to a Subject Station or Run-Time Only install, and the E-Prime Analysis and Data File
Utilities option is ideal for just merging and analyzing data.
During installation, the installation program will prompt the user for the specific applications to be
installed. Check all of the applications to be installed, and leave unwanted applications
unchecked. The Description field lists the components included with a selected option. The
amount of space required by an installation option, and the amount of space available on the
machine are displayed below the checklist.
1.3.4 Run-Time Only Installation (Run-Time Only CD)
A Run-Time Only installation option is available by separately purchasing the Run-Time Only CD.
This option is available for collecting data at a site other than where the full E-Prime system is
licensed. For example, a study may require data to be collected at a location other than where
the experiment is designed and analyzed (e.g., multi-site study). The Run-Time Only CD will
allow data collection by providing the E-Run application, but none of the other E-Prime
applications are installed.
The Run-Time Only CD is a separate compact disk from the complete E-Prime CD, and does not
require the hardware key for installation. However, before installing, all previous versions of the
E-Prime run-time installation must be un-installed. To do so, go to the computer’s Control Panel
via the “My Computer” icon and select the “Add/Remove Programs” icon. Then scroll down the
“Install/Uninstall” tab to highlight the necessary application(s), and click the Remove button.
To install the Run-Time Only CD, insert it into the CD-ROM Drive of the computer needed for
data collection. Refer to section 1.2.2 for further installation instructions.
1.4 Hardware Key
E-Prime is a copy-protected system requiring a hardware key that connects to the computer’s
parallel or USB port. The parallel port hardware key is a pass-through device, allowing a printer
to be connected to the machine as well. The hardware key copy protection scheme limits the
number of development machines to the number of licenses purchased. The hardware key is
required for installation of E-Prime. Other applications require the hardware key to be installed
depending on the type of license in use.
