1. Installation on mobile device

• Establish a PC/HPC connection (via RS-232 cable for example).
• Run the ArtSMark Setup.exe on PC.
• After installation you can find a shortcut to the ArtSMark executable file on the device desktop. All other necessary files (such as application databases) are copied to the ArtSMark installation folder. Help files are copied to the \Windows directory.
• After ArtSMark successfully starts the icon in the lower right corner of the screen appears.

2. Working in demo mode

Initially installed ArtSMark works in demo mode. The aim of this mode is the introduction to ArtSMark basic functions. So you can test it and decide if to register ArtSMark or not..

The demo mode has the following important limitations:

• Expiration period is 2 weeks from the first startup. After expiration ArtSMark will not work and will display the dialog box with the message "ArtSMark demo period has expired". To continue ArtSMark usage you should pay, register and activate your copy

If for some reasons you are not satisfied with the product after expiration you should uninstall ArtSMark as it described in "Uninstallation" section.

3. Registration

If you have paid for ArtSMark you should register the copy installed on your device. Fill in the Registration form and send it to ArtSoft (sales@artsoft.ru) or to your local dealer. You can invoke this form by choosing the Registration item in ArtSMark menu:

• Select the Registration item and fill in the mandatory fields of the form. "PIN" field is the code you have received from your dealer.

PIN code format is: nnn .nnn .nnn .nnn . nnn .nnn .nnn . nnn

Here nnn stands for three digits.

Please keep your PIN code safely since for any future technical support the PIN is required. Besides if you change the owner's name of your device or reinstall ArtSMark you have to reregister (reactivate) it with your PIN code.

After the form is completed push "Create form" button. The "ArtSMark registration form.txt" file will be saved to Desktop folder on your device and should be sent by e-mail to ArtSoft or your local dealer.

4. Activation

In ArtSoft your PIN code is verified and if OK an Activation code is sent to the e-mail address you specified in your Registration form. After that you should fill in the Activation form, that you can invoke by choosing Activation item in ArtSMark menu.

Select the Activation item and enter the Activation code. If Activation code is entered correctly, ArtSMark will work in normal (Activated) mode.

5. Working in Activated mode

On this step ArtSMark works in full mode without any functional limitations. Note: if you change the owner's name of your HPC then ArtSMark returns to demo mode. In this case you have to reregister and reactivate your ArtSMark copy within two weeks. At the end of this period the ArtSMark will stop working without activation. However, in this state Activation can still be performed.
