To use SuperEdit you need: installation files, license file and hardware lock. Without license file and/or hardware lock the program will run only in demo mode.
Properly installed SuperEdit can be run by double-clicking its icon in the Tessel Software Line folder.
SuperEdit Setup provides a quick and easy way to install this program on a user computer or file server. Setup uses a standard Windows user interface style. It contains all features and functions that are appropriate for Windows applications.
Depending on the method of delivery you may install SuperEdit from TSL CD-ROM , a separate SuperEdit CD or downloaded from http://www.tessel.com, where you should also check for the newest Service Pack with patches and enhancements.
After loading TSL CD-ROM , Master Setup starts automatically and lets you choose a product and its language version. In order to restart Master Setup, e.g. to install more products, re-load CD-ROM or open it in Windows Explorer and double-click MSETUP.EXE.
To install SuperEdit from other media you will have to run the setup program by double clicking it from hard drive, CD or downloaded files.
Next, you’ll be asked to choose an installation directory for SuperEdit . It is recommended to use separate installation directories when installing multiple versions of SuperEdit on the same machine, e.g. to test patches or new releases.
The default directory name is C:\Program Files\Tessel Software Line\SuperEdit (if selected directory does not exist, it will be created, even with its parent directories).
In the next step, you may select a type of installation, Typical, Compact , or Custom . Typical means program, sample and help files, while Compact should be used to install only program files.
If you choose the Custom type, then a dialog appears to enable selecting required components to install, e.g. only On-Line Help file.
In next step you may accept, select from existing or type a new program group name where Setup will add SuperEdit program icons.
Setup copies all SuperEdit files to the chosen directory and creates the log of performed operations. If the full ( Typical ) installation was selected, demo files are copied to the additional DOC subdirectory that may be deleted when no longer needed. The newly created program group Tessel Software Line contains the following items: SuperEdit to launch the program, SuperEdit - Diagnostic Mode, SuperEdit License Tool, Template Editor, SuperEdit Read Me to show the technical notes in Notepad and SuperEdit Help . The supered.ini file is copied to the Windows directory. It contains the option settings and the default attribute values for SuperEdit commands.
When finished, Setup displays the following message.
User versions of SuperEdit come with License / Service Pack Disk(s) containing LICENSE.DAT and, when applicable, patches with corrections. First, you must install SuperEdit from Tessel CD . Then, run SETUP.EXE from License / Service Pack Disk 1 . It will apply patches with corrections and copy the LICENSE.DAT file to the SuperEdit directory , replacing the demo version of that file, if you answer YES when asked to overwrite it. (If you answer NO, the LICENSE.DAT on your hard disk will not be overwritten by SETUP. If you have received license.dat file without setup program, you can always copy the file manually. It should replace the demo license file in installation directory. Default is: C:\Program Files\Tessel Software Line\SuperEdit
Service Pack Disks downloaded from http://www.tessel.com do not contain license file – please contact your dealer or admin@tessel.se to get one.
Your LICENSE.DAT file may require a hardware lock. In order to use hardware lock under MS Windows you must install Sentinel driver . If your Setup does not install those drivers automatically, insert Tessel CD and push the Explore CD… button, or open it using Windows Explorer, and use the appropriate Setup program to install Sentinel System Driver located in Sentinel folder.
Restart computer after installation and insert hardware lock to the parallel port or USB port when applicable.
Setup includes an integrated uninstallation program that allows removing SuperEdit components cleanly and effectively and recovers system resources such as disk space used by files and registry entries.
If, for some reason, you must uninstall SuperEdit , run the Uninstall program icon or, start Control Panel ’s Add / Remove Programs , select SuperEdit and click the Add / Remove button. Uninstall will remove most of the SuperEdit program files and delete changes made to your Windows (WIN.INI and REG.DAT) files. However, some files that are used by Windows or other programs may not be removed automatically, so it may be necessary to delete them manually.
