2. Installation and activation
To install the VEGA ZZ package, you must execute Vega_XX_Win32.exe file following the
simple installation wizard. If your operating system is Windows NT 4, Windows
2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, you must have
the administrator rights.
If your system has got a software firewall, you must configure it granting the
network access to REBOL.exe, otherwise the scripting system doesn't work because
it uses the standard TCP/IP communication ports.
After the installation, run VEGA ZZ to begin the activation procedure needed to
unlock the software. The activation is totally FREE:
Follow the procedure reported in the window:
Connect to the DDL registration server pushing the Click here ! button. An Internet Explorer window will be shown at the http://www.ddl.unimi.it/licman URL.
Put in the form the product key reported at the step two and your e-mail address. It couldn't be needed to type the product key if it's already present in the form field. Please use a valid e-mail address because it's required to send you the activation key file. If you want activate more than one PC use the same e-mail address in order to skip the user registration procedure.
If you aren't already registered, complete the registration form.
At the end two e-mails are automatically sent: the first one is for the registration confirm (if you aren't already registered) and the second one contains the activation key.
Save the activation key attached to the license e-mail. The activation key is a small file called vegazz.lic that can't be opened by VEGA ZZ only because it's a binary encrypted file.
Copy the vegazz.lic file in the VEGA ZZ\Data directory. To make easier this operation, you could click the Open button of the activation window: an explorer window is opened pointing to the VEGA ZZ\Data directory.
Click the Ok button. If a problem is found, an error message is shown and the activation can be repeated until the Cancel button is clicked.
If you find problems during the activation procedure, please see the FAQ section.
Please remember that the activation key is generated starting from the product key. The product and the activation keys are personal and they work with a specific PC/workstation only. You can't activate more than one PCs with the same activation key because each PC has a different and unique product key. The activation expires after 1 year for non-profit academic users and after 30 days for business companies. After this time it's possible to request another activation key. The two activation types can be selected during the registration procedure. The Authors can change the licensing method in any time on their own decision. The business companies can't access to the collaborative support without purchasing the Support Pack (available requesting to the Authors): help or new feature requests will be trashed if they are from companies without Support Pack. The Authors spent a lot of time to develop a software that, in some cases, includes better performances than several commercial packages. We request a little contribution to the companies in order to continue the VEGA ZZ project otherwise destined to end in the near future.
