Inspired Signage XPress Programming

Minimum Recommended PC Requirements

IS-XPress will operate on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit) PCs that support of DirectX 9.0c and SSE2 instructions. For best performance, AMX recommends a minimum of a Pentium D processor with separate graphics card. IS-XPress may operate on older PC platforms, but less responsively. Also, please note that other software applications can also degrade the responsiveness of IS-XPress.

Due to potential issues with license validation, Inspired Signage XPress should not be installed on a virtual machine.

Both the Standard and the Pro Licenses only apply to one computer installation of the software at a time. If the software is installed on a second computer, a new license must be purchased for that computer.

After installing the software, open XPress. This opens the Software License Validation window (FIG. 1).

FIG. 1 Software License Validation window

A purchase of either an XPress Standard or a Pro license comes with the product activation key. Click the Enter Product Key button to open the Online Product Activation window (FIG. 2). In the provided fields, enter the key to complete the

activation.

FIG. 2 Online Product Activation window

XPress must be restarted to complete the activation.

If you choose not to purchase a license at this time, click the Get 30-Day trial button, and restart the application.

If you have installed a previous version of XPress with a product activation key, click the Re-activatebutton to use the previously used key to activate this version. If the correct key is entered, the application will note that the re-activation was successful.
