Installation GuideThe Ramsete program can be downloaded from the site
www.ramsete.com/Public/Ramsete/The current version is 2.5, so download the file Ramsete25.zip. The contents of the archive should be unpacked into a temporary directory, which will contain, among others, the executable file setup.exe.
Before you launch the setup, however, you should make some basic settings for the proper functioning of the program Ramsete:
1) Set the International Parameters of Windows mode 'English (we recommend "English - United Kingdom" to Italian users)
2) Set Explorer (ie Windows) not to hide file extensions of type "known" by the operating system. It 'important to always see the full extension of each file type.
3) Applying the setting n.2 all folders in the system.
If you use Windows Vista (not recommended, much better to use XP-SP3 or Windows 7), you will have to login with administrator privileges before you can install Ramsete.
Once the computer is setup as above, we proceed by running the setup.exe program.
The following window appears:
Of course, to continue you must click on the button [OK]
A second window appears:
Ramsete defaults to install in C:\Ramsete25. We recommend that you keep this unchanged. Only in special cases it may be appropriate to change this choice (for example by installing Ramsete in D:\Ramsete25). We do not suggest, however, to use a directory very "nested", and especially never use a directory name with spaces (for example,
DO NOT USE C:\Program Files\Ramsete25).
Now you can 'start the installation itself, clicking on the button with the picture on the computer, place the top left corner.
A horizontal bar shows the percentage of installation,
and a final warning that indicates that the installation is complete.
It is now time to see if there are updated versions of some of the modules of Ramsete, which already anticipate some of the features of the next release. These updated versions, if available, can be found at this site:
www.ramsete.com/Public/Ramsete/Beta/You need to download the files contained therein, and unpack the contents, overwriting the files with the same name, but dated earlier, in the installation directory of Ramsete (typically C:\Ramsete25).
It is assumed that all Ramsete users are always employing the latest available "beta" version.
No support will be given on this forum about bugs or problems with older versions.
At this point Ramsete is installed and updated, but only works in "demo" mode, as it is still unable to "see" the hardware key (in jargon, "dongle"). For Ramsete can notice the presence of the hardware key, you must have installed the appropriate drivers, BEFORE you plug the dongle in the PC. The drivers are downloaded from this directory (assuming you have the modern version of the USB dongle Smartkey):
http://www.ramsete.com/Public/Ramsete/Driv...llation_SDI.zipAgain, you unpack the ZIP file into a temporary directory, then follow the instructions contained in the file.
If the Dongle that your received is yet unprogrammed, you can put on it your username and registration code using the Dongle Manager application, installed as part of the Ramsete package.
However, a dongle already programmed is sent to all registered users, then there is no need to use any special procedure to initialize the hardware key, which should be automatically recognized by all the modules of the Ramsete package, once the drivers are installed.
Try to open a program, such as Ramsete CAD, and observe if the window title of the program says "Ramsete Demo" or shows the correct version of the program for which your hardware key provides the certification.
If, despite you have installed the drivers and inserted the dongle, the program continues to operate in 'demo' mode, obviously something went wrong. In this case, you can post here for support requests ...
