Quick Start

Installation

VERY IMPORTANT: You must have ADMINISTRATOR privileges to install ADF on Windows 2000/XP/Vista!

To install ADF on your Windows computer just execute the setup file and the installation wizard will guide you through the installation process.

License file

You must obtain a license file before you can use ADF programs. If you are a trial user you should have already obtained one together with the download information. Otherwise you need to contact license@scm.com. After you have obtained a license file, save it as %ADFHOME%\license.txt. Everywhere in this document %ADFHOME% stands for the path where you installed ADF, which is by default C:\ADF2007.01. Except for the trial users, the license file is usually host-locked. The information necessary to create a host-locked license file is normally generated automatically by the installer and is saved in the %ADFHOME%\licinfo.txt file. It is also displayed using your default text editor so you can easily copy the information and paste it in an e-mail message.

Whenever you get license errors, you should execute the %ADFHOME%\makelicinfo.bat file and follow the instructions on the screen.
