Installing and Registering iolite Essentials

To install iolite Essentials, just run the installer package, which can be downloaded from this link.

When you first run iolite Essentials, you will need to start a trial, or enter your licence details. You can do that by clicking the Preferences button.

In the Licence section of the preferences (shown in Fig. 1), you can click on the Start Trial button to start a new trial. Please note that trials cannot be restarted or extended, so only start a trial if you have time to evaluate the software.

To activate your licence, there are two options depending on whether your computer is online and able to access https://iolite.xyz. If you are online, you can enter your licence information (Name, Email and Licence key) and click the ‘Activate Licence Online’ button. This will connect to iolite’s licence server, verify that your licence is valid, and download your module expiry dates.

Note

Please make sure that the email address matches that registered with the licence key. Any mismatch will result in an ‘invalid licence’ message. If you are unsure which email address is registered with the licence, please contact us at iolite@icpms.com.

If your computer is not online, you can activate your licence by following these steps:

  1. Create an ‘offline licence request’ (.OLR) file by clicking the ‘Create OLR’ file button. Save this file somewhere on your computer. You will need to copy this file to another computer that is online.

  2. Go to https://iolite.xyz/licensing/essActivate.php, and upload the .OLR file you created before. The webpage will create an ‘iolite licence’ (.IOL) file that you can download. Move this file to the computer running iolite Essentials.

  3. Click the ‘Load IOL file’ in iolite Essential’s preferences (Fig. 1). iolite Essentials will read the .IOL file and update your license details.

Once this is complete, your copy of iolite Essentials is registered, and you can click Save to return to the Welcome Window.
