The Ovation software uses an automated installer wizard which will install all necessary prerequisites. We use a unified installer package containing the current versions of Pyramix, VCube and Ovation. The initial installer screen offers the choice of Pyramix, VCube and Ovation.
Note: You must have full Administrator Access to install Ovation. Insert the Merging Technologies USB memory stick or installation CD/DVD, as applicable, into a suitable socket or drive. With optical media, unless you have disabled the function, the installer will run automatically.
Entering Your Security Key(s) After the Ovation installation process you will be prompted to enter your Authorization Key. If you click Yes the MT Security Settings dialog will be launched automatically, allowing the Key or Keys to be entered immediately. If you choose not to enter your Key at this point you can do so later by choosing one of the following procedures: Double-click the file YourPersonalKeyXXXXX.mtk.
Of course, this Logical OR will only process keys with identical User Name and Company Name to the one entered in the key enabling window. Evaluation Mode If Ovation is started without a valid registration key, the software will recognize that no valid key is available and will start in “evaluation” mode, which only allows for basic operation. Ovation Software Registration We strongly recommend you register your Ovation software immediately to ensure access to the latest software downloads and support http://www.merging.com/register/...
