Installing and Activating Scenarist
If upgrading from an earlier version of Scenarist, make sure to complete the steps in
“Uninstalling an Earlier Version of Scenarist” on page 8, then proceed to the following steps.
To install and activate Scenarist:
1 Insert the Scenarist Installation disc and run the Setup program.
2 Follow the on-screen instructions.
3 When prompted, restart your computer.
4 From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs > Sonic > Scenarist > Scenarist.
5 When prompted, enter the Activator Code. Your Activator Code is sent to you by Sonic
Solutions (or your Sonic reseller) after your Scenarist registration information is received.
The Activator Code is case sensitive and must be entered as such.
If you receive an error message stating that the Activator Code is invalid or the dongle is
missing, please check that you have entered the code correctly and that the parallel port on
your computer is enabled and working. To check this, connect a parallel printer or other
device to the port and make sure the device can actually receive output from your
computer through the parallel port.
