1.14.2 Loading Quansoft onto the PC
To install the Quansoft software onto the PC, follow these five basic steps:
1. Turn on the PC and log on as a user having administrator rights (to be able to install software).
2. Insert the Quansoft CD into the CD-ROM drive and wait for the auto-run function to
automatically start the setup (should auto-run fail to start, then the CD must be opened from
Explorer and the setup program (Setup.exe) initiated manually by double-clicking).
3. Click on the Install button and wait for the installation to complete. Quansoft files will
automatically be installed to C:\Programs\Techne\Quansoft. If you wish to change the
destination click the
Browse button and choose accordingly. You will also be given the option
of creating a shortcut icon from the desktop for easy access.
4. Remove the disk from the drive.
5. Restart the computer, log on and then launch Quansoft from the Programs menu or via the
shortcut icon on the desktop.
The software can be easily uninstalled from the computer:
simply access the PC
Control panel, click on Add/remove
programs and then select Quansoft.
If upgrading from one release of Quansoft to another, then
the previous release should first be uninstalled as
described.
Note: the Release number should not be confused with the
version numbers which relate to each of the Quansoft
editors.
1.14.3 Registering the software
A registration welcome screen will appear when launching Quansoft for the first time. By

following fields to be completed: name, organization, unlock code and the instrument serial
