How to Install and Unistall Mnova
How to install Mnova
1. If you are going to install the program on a Windows XP system, be sure you have administrator privileges, because the installation procedure is going to install several files in your system folders. If you don't have such privileges, you won't be able to install or uninstall the program correctly.
2. On each host, download the Mnova file from our website. Then, double click on the Mnova SETUP file and follow the instructions as they appear on screen.
If you have had a version of Mnova installed previously, the installer will inform you that it is necessary to uninstall the previous version of Mnova. Make sure that this version is closed and click OK and then OK again to confirm. This will uninstall Mnova from your computer. You will get a message to inform you that uninstall was successful: click 'Continue'.
Once you have read and accepted the terms of the License Agreement, click on "Next" and select the destination folder where the program files will be placed in your computer. We suggest that you accept all the installation defaults. Once you have chosen the Start Menu Folder as prompted by the installer, click on "Install". This will install the application on your computer. On completing the installation, it will prompt you to select "Finish" to run the application.
3. Run the application on each host. The following dialog, notifying you that some licenses (for some plugins) were not found, will appear:
4. Check the 'I´ve read the above information' boxes, press the 'Ok' button and continue running the application. You will obtain the Registration Wizard dialog box, shown below:
5. If you have already a license file, click on 'Yes' and go to the step 11. If you do not have it, click on 'No' to display the following window:
6. Select the desired plugin item and click on 'Evaluate' or on 'Buy'.
If you click on the 'Evaluate' button you will be redirected to a web page where you will be asked for a few registration details. An illustrative example appears below. Your Evaluation license will be generated automatically after having clicked on 'Get a free evaluation license'.
Alternately if you press the 'Buy' button you are again redirected to a web-page where a similar procedure occurs. However, instead of receiving a license right away your registration information and your Host ID number are automatically sent to our Sales Department by e-mail. They will handle your purchase request and, once the financial formalities are complete, you will receive your licence file with installation and activation instructions by e-mail.
7. It will display a window (Step 2/4) to inform you that you will receive an email to confirm your details:
8. Once you have received the email, please click on the link to confirm that you are a human and your email address and details are valid. This will display a new window (Step3/4) which will allow you to obtain your license file just by clicking on the ‘Generate License’ button.
9. Save the 'Evaluation Licence' file on your disc.
10. Run Mnova, follow the menu ‘Help/Evaluate-Buy’ and click on ‘Yes’:
11. The picture below will be displayed:
12. Click on the 'Activate' button to open the 'Select License File' dialog (see the picture below). Navigate on your Windows browser until you find the license file (or a .zip file containing several licenses), and double click on it and select it. Now you should be able to run the application without receiving an error message dialog.
