Installing Multicap 9
Multicap 9 User Guide 1-5
Electronics Workbench recommends that you obtain your Release Code as soon as possible
after you have installed Multicap 9.
To enter the Release Code:
1. Click on the Enter Release Code button at the start-up splash screen.
2. If you have received your Release Code via email there are a few ways to easily enter it
without the need to type each number or character one at a time. Select one of the
following methods:
Highlight the Release Code. Drag and drop it on one of the text boxes.
Highlight the Release Code, right-click on it and select Copy. Click on the Paste
Release Code button.
Highlight the Release Code, right-click on it and select Copy. Right-click on one of
the text boxes and click on Paste from the pop-up menu.
3. If you have received your Release Code over the phone, you must type it in the Release
Code fields 5 characters at a time.
4. Click Accept to continue.

networked settings.
The Multi-Station Standalone Edition and Single User Edition installations are identical
except that you will re-use the same serial number multiple times.

software need not be accessed across a network. However, it takes up the most disk space
on the workstation computers and requires updates to be installed separately on each
workstation. This option can be combined with option 1, where some workstations may
