Install the app
Readings Manager is installed with its setup program, Readings Manager Installer 2.0.0.exe. The IT staff or your supervisor will give it to you. It is not downloaded from a public web site.
Steps
Double-click Readings Manager Installer 2.0.0.exe.
The setup opens. Click Next on each step. The usual choices are right; you do not need to change anything.
Click Install, wait until the bar is full, then click Finish. The last step takes a little longer: it prepares the app so it opens quickly.
Open Readings Manager from the Start menu (or the icon on the desktop).
The first time, the app asks for the licence key. See Your licence.
Tip: The app installs for your Windows user only, so it does not need an administrator password.
Only one copy at a time
Readings Manager runs once on a computer. If you open it again while it is already open, the open window comes to the front. Nothing is lost.
Updates
You install the app only once. New versions are offered inside the app and install themselves. See Updates.
Where things are kept
You do not need to know this for daily work, but the IT staff may ask.

If something goes wrong
What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
A blue box: Windows protected your PC. | Ask the IT staff before you continue. When they confirm the file came from XSSIT, click More info, then Run anyway. |
The setup says the app is still running. | Close Readings Manager. If it is in the tray (next to the clock), right-click its icon and choose Quit. Then try again. |
You cannot find the app after installing. | Click Start and type Readings Manager. |
You open the app and nothing seems to happen. | It may already be open in the tray. Look next to the clock (click the small arrow ^ if you do not see it) and click the Readings Manager icon. |
