PopChart Builder User Guide 4.0.5

Installing and Running PopChart Builder

PopChart Builder is installed at the same time as PopChart Server.

To install PopChart Builder download the PopChart 4.0.5 installer from the Corda Technologies website (http://www.corda.com) and follow the directions outlined in Chapter 2, "Installation," of the PopChart Server User Guide.

When you reach the Choose Install Set screen, if you do not want to install PopChart Server, select Builder Only. Ignore any instructions that pertain only to PopChart Server.

When you are done installing PopChart Builder, you can run it by clicking on the PopChart Builder shortcut or by running the PopChartBuilder executable file in the bin folder of the Corda installation directory (users on UNIX® compatible systems may have to run sh PopChartBuilder.bin on the command prompt for the latter to work).

Evaluating PopChart Builder

When you run the PopChart installer without entering a license key, the installer will automatically generate an evaluation key for you. This evaluation key will allow you to use PopChart Builder normally for 15 days, with the following restriction:

• The words Builder: Evaluation Use Only will appear on any images that are based on appearance files generated by an evaluation version of PopChart Builder.

After the evaluation period is over, or if you enter an invalid license key when installing PopChart Builder, PopChart Builder will run in a non-licensed mode. In this mode, PopChart Builder is fully functional except for the following restrictions:

• You cannot save or preview your appearance files.

To remove these restrictions, select File > PopChart License and enter a valid license key. You can purchase a license for PopChart Builder from Corda Technologies by visiting their website at http://www.corda.com, or by calling their sales department at (801)-805-9500.
