Installing
In order to begin with the
installation process we must first determine which version you
have purchased. At this time there are two ways to
purchase the software. As a retail disc or as a digital download.
Retail Disc
A boxed product, such as one you would
buy at retail store, will include the DVD and a small insert, which
contains an activation key.
To install from a retail
disc:
- Insert the disc into the DVD drive in your computer.
- The installation should begin automatically or give a pop-up
asking you what you would like to do. Select Run
Setup.exe.
Note: If the installation does not begin automatically follow
these steps:
-
- Click on Start.
- Click on Computer
- Right Click on the DVD drive containing The Print Shop 4.0
disc.
- Left Click on Open.
- Double Left Click on Setup.exe.
- The installer will now search your computer to make sure you
have the required Windows Updates in order to install The Print
Shop 4.0.
- If it detects that you are missing an update the installer will
prompt you to install these now. Once the updates are
complete the installer will move to the next step
automatically.
- From here you should follow the on screen prompts to complete
the installation.
Digital
Download
If you purchased The Print Shop 4.0 as
a digital download from a website such as http://www.Broderbund.com you
received an email confirming your purchase and an email with the
download link and activation key.
To install from a
download:
- Open your email with the Subject line "Your Download order is
ready."
- If your email provider allows, you can click on the link to
begin your download. If not, you will need to copy and paste
the link from your email into your Internet browser's address
bar.
- You will be prompted to run your download or save it.
Choose Save so that way if you ever require the ability to
reinstall the program you will have the files to do so.
- Once your download completes you should get another prompt
asking if you want to run the installer file from the completed
download. Choose Run.
- The installer will now search your computer to make sure you
have the required Windows Updates in order to install The Print
Shop 4.0.
- If it detects that you are missing an update the installer will
prompt you to install these now. Once the updates are
complete the installer will move to the next step
automatically.
- From here you should follow the on screen prompts to complete
the installation.
