Installation, activation and registration

1. Mercalli, installation and activation of the stand-alone version

As of version 2, Mercalli can also be used as a stand-alone application (all details are in the

section Mercalli as a stand-alone version).

To start the installation, double-click the setup file. By installing the program, you agree to the

terms and conditions in the legal notice section and to the license terms. If you have downloaded

Mercalli, the archive file will first be decompressed and then the installation will start. Select the

target folder where Mercalli should be installed.

Now follow the installation instructions.

You can now start Mercalli from a shortcut on your desktop

or by clicking Start/All Programs/proDAD/Mercalli Start.

When you start Mercalli for the first time, you will be asked to enter a Code (Serial Number) to

activate the program. In case that you purchased the download version, enter the Code which you

received along with the download instructions email. In case that you purchased the DVD version,

you'll find the code inside the box. Click Unlock.

IMPORTANT:

Please keep in mind that your system requires an Internet connection for you to activate it. This is

the only way to successfully complete the activation. If you encounter problems, please check the

security settings (Firewall, etc.) in the system and repeat the activation process.

If you want to test Mercalli in the DEMO-Mode, click Continue with Demo Version. The Demo

version is activated until you enter the serial number. By entering the serial number you obtain

the license that converts it into the full version.
