====== Installation ======

===== System Requirements =====

Scan&Solve™ requires a functional Windows installation of Rhino 4 or 5. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Rhino 5 are supported. Currently there is no support for Rhino on Macintosh systems. An evaluation copy of Rhino may be downloaded **[[http://www.rhino3d.com/download.htm|here]]**. (This fully functional version is the same as the commercial version except that it only saves 25 times. Scan&Solve™ will operate within Rhino during this evaluation period.)

Scan&Solve™ is a computationally intensive application requiring large amounts of memory and computer processing power. At the very minimum, 2GB memory and Pentium 4 processor running Windows-XP installation are expected, but significantly more memory and latest processers running Windows 7 are strongly recommended.

===== Download and Run Installer =====

Download Scan&Solve 2014 Plugin [[https://www.intact-solutions.com/scan-solve/scansolve-download/|here]].

Run Scan&Solve_RhinoSetup.exe to install the Scan&Solve™ plugin. This will install all necessary Intel support libraries, as well as the Scan&Solve™ plugin.

If you have previously installed an older version of Scan&Solve™, use Windows control panel to un-install it before running Scan&Solve_RhinoSetup.exe.


===== Activation =====

==== Evaluating Scan&Solve™ ====

When Scan&Solve™ starts for the first time, the **[Start Evaluating Scan&Solve]** button will appear at the top of the Scan&Solve™ dialog. Click this button to begin the 7-day evaluation period. Until Scan&Solve™ is activated, **[GO!]**, **[Done]**, and **[Purge]** will be inactive.

Previously computed solutions may be viewed at any time through the **View** tab.

During and after the evaluation period click the **[Purchase Scan&Solve]** button to be taken to the Intact Solutions web [[http://www.intact-solutions.com/store|store]] to purchase a permanent license.

==== License Activation (Activation Key) ====

When you purchase a license, you will be provided with an activation key that will retrieve your license from the Intact Solutions server and store it on your computer.

  - At the Rhino command prompt, type **SnSActivate**.
  - Enter your 16 digit activation key including the dashes.
  - Test your new license using the **SnS** command.

==== License Activation (License File) ====

In certain cases, you may be provided with the license file itself. Use the following steps to activate licenses of this type:

  - At the Rhino command prompt, type **SnSActivate**.
  - Choose the **__L__icenseFile** option.
  - Browse to the location of the license file you received, select the license file, and choose **[Open]**.
  - Test your new license using the **SnS** command.
