###  | Installation |

#### System Requirements Any PC running Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 or later. At least 8 MB RAM and 3 MB of free Hard Disk space. (More memory and diskspace is recommended). A connection to the Internet. #### Installing Create a directory to hold the program (recommended directory name is SSChart but can be any name you wish). Download the program zip file into this directory. Unzip the file (download pkzip for this if you don't already have it). Read the file "readme.rtf" or "readme.txt" for further information. Run "sschart.exe" from this directory, the program will complete the installation process the first time it is run. (This includes creating subdirectories: {DATA, CONFIG, FAVORITE, IMPORT, SLF, and HELP}, moving the appropriate files to these locations, and recording the installation location. A separate file "readme.rtf" or "readme.txt" contains the detailed installation instructions for the software as well as any last minutes changes. Please read this file carefully before installing and running the software. (Both of these files are identical except for the format, the rtf file contains more formatting, and can be viewed with Wordpad, or Word). #### The first time you run SSChart: ####
You will see the message at the right. This is normal, the message informs you that the install directory has been set to the directory you started sschart.exe from. Click OK to continue. |
Next you will see the Install License dialog informing you that you are running an unregistered trial copy of SSChart. If you click [Cancel] here, the program will continue and still be fully functional for three days. You can return to this dialog later by selecting { Help | Install License } from the menu. If you register the program, you will be sent a trial key that will enable the program for 3 weeks. You can request your trial key here, by filling in your User Name (or company name), and Email Address and then hitting [Request Trial Key]. This will contact our server online, and it will respond by sending a trial key to the email address you supplied. (We will not send any other email, and will never disclose your email address to any other parties). Once you receive your license key back by email enter the trial key which was sent to you in the Program Key field above and press [Validate Key] . If the trial key can be validated you will get a message to that effect and you will be able to use the program until the expiration date.
When you exit the above dialog by hitting either [Request Trial Key] or [Cancel], you can expect to see one last reminder that the program expires soon. Just hit OK here. |
#### Uninstalling If you followed the installation instructions, SSChart is self uninstalling. Select { Help | Uninstall SSChart Software } to complete the uninstall. This procedure will attempt to delete all files and directories that were created by the install process and remove registry entries. This will leave only the original zip file, the SSChart executable file and any user created files in the installation directory . Any data files in the DATA subdirectory created by your running the program, and any favorites files in the FAVORITE subdirectory which you created will remain. You can manually delete these and the zip file if you wish to completely remove the program from your system.
