Installing the software
Your product is supplied either on DVD or as a download.
• If you received your software on DVD, inserting the DVD
will launch the Start Center automatically.
If no interactive Start Center appears, browse the DVD contents and dou-
ble-click the file “Start_Center.exe” (Win) or “Start Center.app” (Mac).
• If you received your software as a download, double-
click the downloaded file to unpack it.
Browse the downloaded contents and double-click the file
“Start_Center.exe” (Win) or “Start Center.app” (Mac).
From the Start Center you can initiate the installation of
the RND Portico plug-ins and browse through the addi-
tional options and information presented there.
The installation procedure puts all files in the right places,
automatically.
In case you do not want to install your RND Portico plug-
ins via the interactive Start Center, follow the procedure

License activation
Whether you received a 30-day trial version of the RND
Portico plug-ins, or bought the full version: in both cases

code that you received with your version.
Proceed as follows:
1. After installation, make sure that your USB-eLicenser
is connected to a USB port on your computer.
2. Open the eLicenser Control Center.
The eLicenser Control Center can be found on the Start menu on Win-
dows systems or in the Applications folder on a Mac.

A dialog opens, allowing you to enter your activation code and download
your license.
