Installing PATN should be a simple process. The number of steps involved is dependent on your Internet connection. Generally, the complete process has these steps-

  1. On the eSellerate Web site, fill in your details, pay and download PATN
     
  2. Save a copy of the downloaded file somewhere secure. If you purchased the optional eSellerate Download Service, you can always re-download the original file from the eSellerate site for up to a year after the date of purchase.
     
  3. You will receive an e-mail using your supplied e-mail address containing the following information-
    bulletA URL that will link to your purchase details
    bulletAn Order Number
    bulletDate of purchase
    bulletYour contact details
    bulletYour order details
    bulletYour Serial Number

    It is important to keep a copy of this e-mail secure. I suggest you should make a few copies (at least one hard copy) and keep the information in a secure location.
     
  4. Double click on the downloaded file to run the PATN setup. The program will check if you are online.
    bulletIf you are online, you will be requested to enter your Serial Number. When this is done, PATN will then authenticate the serial number against the user database. Once this is done, PATN can then be run with no further bureaucracy.
    bulletIf your not online (and this may take a minute or two for PATN to try a few options due to security and firewall complexities), PATN will present the following window with three options-


     
    bulletOption 1 (Activate using a web browser on this computer) will use the web browser on the same system as PATN. In cases where firewalls stop non-browser applications from accessing the Internet, you can activate your web browser on the URL in the window below, follow the instructions and receive an activation key from the eSellerate site.

    bulletOption 2 (Activate using a different computer that has web access) uses a web browser on another computer that is linked to the Internet. If Option 2 is selected, the following screen is displayed. Just follow the instructions. Take a copy of the Installation ID displayed as below to another computer that is linked to the Internet and when you get an Activation Key, return to the computer that PATN is on and follow the instructions.


     
    bulletOption 3 (I have an activation key and would like to activate now) is used when you have received an Activation Key.

    Simply enter the Key and the following screen will be displayed.

    It is wise to use the Save button and keep a copy of the Installation ID and Activation Key in a secure location.
     

  5. The process of entering your serial number or activation key creates an activation event in the PATN user database.

 The activation process is certainly easier if your online!
