2. BounceBack Pre-Installation

1.Prerequisite software plug-in

BounceBack Ultimate requires that Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 be installed on the computer prior to launching the installation of BounceBack Ultimate.

Windows XP, Vista, and 7 do not have Microsoft .NET Framework embedded into the operating system. Windows 8 does.

Our BounceBack Ultimate installer will queue the download and installation of .NET 4.0 if it is not installed on your computer. Be aware that you will need an active Internet connection in order for BounceBack to be able to download and install .NET Framework 4.0.

(Example)

.NET Framework 4.0 can also be individually downloaded from Microsoft’s website.

2.Connecting your backup device to your computer

If you are using an external device for the backup, make sure it is connected and working correctly with the Windows operating system.

Note: If the Windows AutoPlay screen appears select Take No Action and click OK.

3.Disabling media devices that will not be taking part in the backup

We highly advise that you power off or disconnect any media device that will not be taking part in the backup. This is done to prevent accidental data loss by performing a backup to the wrong device. This applies to USB flash drives, other USB external hard drives that might be connected to your computer, MP3 players, Cell Phones with USB mass storage support, and memory cards.

4.Have your activation code readily available

BounceBack Ultimate requires an activation code. Have your activation code readily available prior to installing the software. The activation code will be placed on the warranty card. The activation code will be emailed to you and it will also be in your CMS online account if you purchased a download copy of BounceBack Ultimate.
