Apex Sketching Software Installation Rev. 8/25/2016  

1) Login as the user & run G:\Install\Openapps\ApexSketchPro6 [latest version; check their website] taking the defaults and selecting the Add on to the desktop check box. (Be sure to install EQ Assessing before installing Apex.) 

2) Click on the Apex Medina icon to start the program and when prompted with a message like Area Code Not Found, click on “Yes”. Next, a screen to register the application is displayed. NOTE: There are 6 licenses which are currently assigned to Karen Somerville, Nancy McLaughlin, Heidi Shevokas, Staci Holbrook, Lura Priebe and Laurie Taylor, and this can change according to whoever needs to use the application. 

In order to register Apex (whether it’s for a user whose PC is being replaced, or a currently unregistered user), open a browser window (leaving the registration screen open) and go to 

https://www.apexwin.com/registration/index.php. 

a. Login in with Bill’s email ID as follows, and on the next screen select “View License History”: photo

NOTE: Although a user/PC doesn’t show up in the Registered To / Machine Name list, there is a “bug”  in the current version that sometimes allows full use of the application (not just in demo mode) for an  unregistered user/PC.

c. Go back to the registration dialog box that opened when Apex the application was initially opened in step 2 earlier.
