Installation/Update Procedure
This chapter discusses installing and updating the software.
Note Files are time-stamped to reflect their revision number. For example, files for version
8.02 display a creation time of 8:02 a.m. when the DOS DIR command is used on the
directory containing the files. (The date-stamp is the date of the software release.)
A.I. Series software is copy protected to prevent unauthorized use. During an
installation, activation files are moved from the Master Disk to the destination drive
(usually your hard drive). The software will not run without the activation files. The
original Master Disk will continue to operate as a “key disk” for that module. The key
disk is your backup copy of the activation file. (A key disk is simply a disk which
allows the software to run if the activation file is not found. The Master disk can be
placed in the floppy drive to run A.I. Series software if the activation files are not
present on the hard disk. See Using a Floppy Disk as a Key Disk on page 2-4 for more
information on key disks.) Refer to Chapter 2 - Copy Protection for more information
on activation files and copy protection.
