Dear valued customer,

System Software as well as the SEMCAD X V14 V6.14 (7501) Platform 
acting as a postprocessor environment for DASY52.


IMPORTANT:
System Requirements: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 or 
Windows 7 Professional, Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and Microsoft .NET 
Framework 3.5. The software will not work properly without one of this Windows 
versions installed. In this case, please update the system by using Windows 
Update in the Start Menu.

We kindly recommend to carefully follow the steps described within this ReadMe 
file in order to achieve a smooth and successful installation of all software 
components.


This CD or the "DASY52 Installer" from the download site
http://www.speag.com/support/dasy-2/dasy52-download/
contains the latest software for the full DASY52 installation, including the 
SEMCAD X post-processor. 

NOTE:
It is not necessary to uninstall any older versions of DASY. This installer 
provides a complete new installation of DASY52 and installs it onto the local 
harddisk into a separate directory.


STEP 1: INSTALLATION
To install DASY52 and SEMCAD X on your computer, run
DASY NEO52 D10.4 (1535) S14.6.14 (7501).exe. You will then be guided through the installation.

Note: If Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 is not installed, the DASY52 setup will 
point you to the appropriate download section. Install the software and re-run 
setup again.


When the installation is complete, there will be a DASY52 and a SEMCAD X icon 
on your desktop as well as a DASY52 folder in your Start menu containing useful
shortcuts. The default installation type is "Recommended", whereby DASY52, 
User Manual, Inventory, Predefined Files and Print Templates are pre-selected. 
A user has also the ability to apply another installation type if more options 
are needed. Depending on the chosen option, one or more directories will be 
created in the DASY52 folder.


All software documentation is included in the "Documentation" directory.
It is enclosed in electronic form as a PDF file.

STEP 2: DONGLE DRIVER UPDATE/INSTALLATION
If you have never installed DASY52.10 before, an update of the dongle driver
is necessary. Please remove the dongle and restart the computer. Then, in the
start menu, use "DASY 52.10 -- License Manager for Flexlm -- FLEXid installer"
to update the dongle drivers.

STEP 3: TX-MS UPGRADE (DASY5 server and robot controller upgrade)
Please follow the instructions in the Upgrade_TX_MS/Upgrade.txt

LICENSE:
For DASY52, the license is locked on the flexid of the USB dongle provided 
by SPEAG. The accompanying license file will be sent to you per e-mail.

1. verify that dongle hardware number matches the number of the license string
2. rename the file to license.dat and place it in the
   "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents\DASY52\Configuration" folder as explained under
   STEP 4.
3. connect dongle to a USB port (wait until the hardware is installed and ready
   to use)

STEP 5: Configuration, Inventory (DASY user files directory)
The location of the Configuration, Inventory, Measurement Templates and 
Print Templates is under %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents\DASY52 Be aware that
%ALLUSERSPROFILE% is a system variable depending on your operating system
and could look like:

Windows XP --> C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\DASY52
Windows 7  --> C:\Users\Public\Documents\DASY52

To locate the path goto Start->Run and paste %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents\DASY52
