Installation and Setup
During installation on a Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP system, if the installer is not in
the Administrator group, the installation wizard may display a message warning that the installation
may not be successful. If this occurs, the installation wizard will run to completion but the Windows
registry may not be updated correctly. If you are subsequently unable to connect to a transmitter,
reinstall the software using the required user account.
2.2.2 Install the ProLink II software
To install ProLink II software:
1. Insert the ProLink II CD-ROM into the PC’s CD-ROM drive.
2. If the setup program does not start automatically, locate and run the SETUP.EXE file. The file
is located in the root directory on the CD-ROM (e.g., D:\setup.exe, where “D” is your
CD-ROM drive letter).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. If you have a previous version
of ProLink II installed on your PC, you may be prompted to remove it before installing the
new version.
Note: The ProLink II site key is associated with a disk drive and specific folder on your PC. If you
decide to move ProLink II after installation, you will have to transfer the license and reinstall
ProLink II. To avoid this step, be sure to install ProLink II into a location that you can use
permanently.
Note: If you have a Model 2700 transmitter with transmitter software earlier than v3.4, and you have
the enhanced density application installed, you cannot access the enhanced density functions with
ProLink II v2.1 or later. To configure and manage the enhanced density application from ProLink II,
you must either upgrade your transmitter software to v3.4 or later, or continue to use ProLink II v1.x
with enhanced density support. You can install both ProLink II v1.x and ProLink II v2.0 or later on
the same PC, and you can use ProLink II v2.0 or later with your pre–v3.4 transmitter for all functions
except enhanced density. You can also use ProLink v1.2 with transmitter software v3.4 and later;
however, not all transmitter functions will be accessible using the older program.
2.2.3 Generate the temporary license
The first time ProLink II is run, you will be prompted to generate a temporary license. This license
will allow you to run ProLink II with full functionality for seven days, starting from the current date
and time. Follow the on-screen instructions to generate the temporary license.
Note: If you are running Windows 98 or Windows ME, you must temporarily disable any anti-virus
software running on your PC before you can generate the temporary license. You can re-enable the
anti-virus software immediately after the temporary license has been successfully generated.
Continue with Section 2.2.4 to use ProLink II for seven days. During this time period, follow the
instructions in Section 2.2.7 to obtain and configure a site key.
Note: If you attempt to use ProLink II after the temporary license has expired, ProLink II will no
longer allow you to connect to a transmitter.
