It will save by default into "C:\Program Files\PIMSoft\" unless you choose another location. On completion you will be told that the software has been fully installed. Press CLOSE at this point. 
 
4. Note: If you have a firewall or anti-virus program installed ensure that it treats the software as trusted and does not restrict the running of the program PIM.exe.
PIM DEASoft-V3 is now ready and you should have a "PIM Shortcut" on your Start menu.
 
5. The software should now be fully installed on your computer. A "PIM Shortcut" should appear on your Start menu.  To be able to run the software on the first occasion you will need to be connected to the internet so that your license key can be validated. Run PIM-DEAsoftV3 and when prompted enter the license code that was sent to you on purchase of the software.  Once validation has taken place you can use the software even when not connected to the internet (but see below for time limited licenses).
 
6. A single user license enables you to install and run the software on two different computers. To install PIM DEasioftV3 on a second computer you will need to repeat steps 1- 5 and be connected to the internet at the point where you need to have the license validated.
 
7. If you have purchased a time-limited license you will always need to be connected to the internet when running the software. For permanent licenses you only need to be connected to the internet on first installing the software on a given computer.
 
   
 
 
Please note that with previous versions of PIM we provided a dongle to validate licenses. The dongles are not used with PIM DEAsoft-V3.
 
8. The final stage of the installation is to restart your computer after the installation is completed.
 
 
9.  Now you are ready to run PIM DEASoft-V3. Double click on the icon which will have already been created on your desktop.  Alternatively run it from the Start menu.
