Ontario: PC Installation

PC workstation installation instructions.

Please note that if you intend to use this software on more than one PC, we recommend that you
install it on a network server following the separate Network Installation Instructions, as this will
prevent multiple installations and save time.


Depending on the speed of your DVD-Drive, this installation may take a considerable amount of
time due to the large amount of video content contained in this product. If you intend to use this
software on only one computer, we recommend you install and activate this software locally on
that computer:


 
PC workstation requirements:

• A Windows PC (or an Intel Mac with VMWare Fusion or Parallels)
• 20.3 Gigabytes of available hard-drive space
• Intel Pentium 4 processor (or equivalent) – or better
• 512 MB memory – or better
• 128 MB video card – or better
• 1024 x 768 resolution – or higher
• A DVD-ROM Drive
• Windows 2000, XP, or Vista
• Windows Media Player 9.0 – or later (built-in to XP)
• Internet Explorer 6 or later (Windows needs this to be installed for the program to run
correctly. Our program does not load or run Internet Explorer, or give the user any direct
access to any of that program’s features)
• Adobe Flash Player 7 – or later
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 – or later
• Please also be aware that the CDX ARK program uses a web server to access its content,
and will not function correctly if it’s installed on a computer that has an existing web
server or MySQL database running.

 
 
Installation Procedure:

1. Start the Installation.

Insert CDX ARK Plus disc 1. This will load the install program. Click the ‘Next’ button to proceed
with the installation. Note that you must have a DVD-ROM drive as the installation program will
not load on a CD-ROM only drive.


2. Read the End-User License Agreement.

Read the End-User License Agreement, check ‘I accept the terms in the License Agreement, and
click the ‘Next’ button to proceed.

 
3. Choose your Installation Type.

Choose the ‘Stand Alone PC Install’ for a single user installation.


4. Choose an Installation Path.

The recommended installation path is C:\Program Files\CDX Global\CDX Ark Plus (this is default).
When you have selected an installation path, click the ‘Next’ button to proceed. Please be aware
that you will need approx. 20.3 Gigabytes of available hard-drive space for a full installation.
Ensure that your hard drive has enough free space when you select a location to install the
software. Then simply confirm the installation by clicking the ‘Install’ button.

 
5. Installation in Progress.

Please wait while the installation copies the program, inserting each DVD-ROM disc when prompted. Click the ‘OK’ button when you have inserted the new DVD-ROM, and the drive has finished reading the disc. Please be aware this may take a considerable amount of time.
 
6. Complete the Installation.


When the install program has finished, click the ‘Finish’ button to complete the installation. You can then launch CDX ARK Plus and activate the software if this is a single user installation.

 
 
Activation Procedure:

1. Start the Activation.

Start the activation by clicking on the ‘CDXPlusPC’ shortcut on your desktop.
 
2. Make sure you have your Activation Key .
The Activation Key consists of five sets of eight numbers and letters separated by hyphens. You will need this code to activate your software. If you do not have this, contact your supervisor.
 
3. Input your Activation Information.


Copy the activation key exactly as it appears into the activation box – including the hyphens. The
program will automatically detect when you’ve correctly input the complete key and will then
activate the program. Please be aware that the only valid characters for your key are 0 to 9, A to F,
and the hyphen character. A “0” character is always a zero.
 
4. Complete the Activation.

Click the ‘OK’ button to complete the activation process, and run the program.
