We assume that you already have AVEVA's PDMS installed and working on your PC. After downloading, double-click to start installation. (Note: This self-extracting archive will automatically unzip to a temporary folder "C:\CheckStressTemp" and execute "setup.exe".
Installation involves three steps:
In the opening menu, click and print/read the "How to Install?" and "Readme" sections. Doing so will make installation very easy.
1. Install SST License Manager
2. Install CheckStress program files.
If you get a .NET framework "not installed" message, then you need to download and install another file (see item C below).
3. After installation, when you execute CheckStress inside PDMS, you will be presented a dialog that has two fields: Product Key, Activation key. You need to copy the product key and paste it into a new message in your email program, and provide us:
Your Name
Your Company
Location (city, country)
Telephone
Fax
Email address
and email that information to sales@sstusa.com. You can close CheckStress at this point.
We will send you an activation key by email, which you need to copy into the Activation Key field when you execute CheckStress again. The program then becomes functional inside PDMS.
Ensure that you have a fast connection before you click on the above link. After downloading, unzip contents into any NEW temporary folder, and click on "setup.exe".
The full User's Manual (PDF) is here. Download only if you are not downloading the Evaluation copy above since this PDF file is part of the Evaluation copy download. See left hand column to download PDF reader from Adobe.
If you get a .NET framework "not installed" message, then you need to download this file and install it.
