Authorizing Your Software

The first time you run your EasyPower software, you are asked to authorize your copy. Authorizing ensures that you as a licensed user have access to the EasyPower program and features.

Before you can authorize the software, you must first install the software. See Installing EasyPower for information.

Before you run EasyPower, make sure your USB key is inserted in the computer, if applicable.

Note: You must have access to the Internet to activate your software. If you do not have access to the Internet on this computer, you will be given the option to create a file you can send to technical support (from another computer, for example), and you will then receive a file you can import to this computer to activate it.

Authorize your software, as follows:

1. After your EasyPower software is installed, from your Windows menu, select EasyPower 9.6.
2. In the Product Activation window, enter the Authorization Code you received from EasyPower, LLC, and then click Next.

Note: If your authorization code indicates this is a network installation, the software attempts to locate the server automatically. If the USB license key is not inserted, you will be instructed to insert it. If it still cannot be found (for example, the key is inserted but the server is located on another network), you will be given the opportunity to enter the server's IP address.

3. In the Product Activation window, do the following:
• Select your default settings for units and the short circuit standard. These settings are used as defaults for all new one-lines, but you can change them at any time in Tools > Options on the System tab.
• Decide if you want to participate in the EasyPower Product Improvement Program by selecting or clearing the check box. We encourage you to participate—the program is voluntary and anonymous. To learn more about the program, click Read about our policy.
