Activating Your New Software

Installation Details 

As mentioned above, you will need a serial number to download the update, and the authorization code to install the new version of the EasyPower software. Both of these were sent to the registered (primary) user at your company.

EasyPower updates are accessible to all EasyPower users with a current maintenance contract.

Please note the following comments associated with this release:

• The EasyPower 9.6 program can be installed side-by-side with your existing version of EasyPower software.
• It is advisable, as you transition to the new version, to always make a backup of your existing files prior to modification in the new version, or save your files with new file names after modification in the new version.
• The EasyPower 9.6 program now uses an updated version of the device library which cannot be used by older EasyPower versions. The new library and other data files will be installed in a new location and new folder ...(My)Documents\EasyPower 9.6\. You can configure the new file locations in Tools -> Options -> File Locations.
• Our software engineers are constantly working to provide you with up-to-the-minute technology. Prior to beginning any new project, we suggest you go to Tools -> Update and check for updates.
