1. Save jinstall.exe in a temporary folder (or the Desktop) on your system as a binary file. Important: to download a binary file and save it under the correct name, you should click the right mouse button on the filename link, and select Save from the pop-up menu.
2. Verify that the filename you downloaded is jinstall.exe.
   If your browser saved it with any other name, then rename it.
3. Double-click on the downloaded copy of jinstall.exe to install Jim. This will launch the installer.
4. In the installer, when you come to choose the "Installation directory", you can do either:
   • A system-wide installation - you will need Administrator rights. Select the installation folder "C:\Program Files\Xinapse\Jim6".
   • A personal installation (for your own use). Select the installation folder "C:\Users\Username\Xinapse\Jim6", where Username is your own user name.

• This computer's Host ID is: "000123456789"
  Please send this string of digits/letters to .
• This computer's hostids are: "000123456789" "000F1E2D3C4B5"

Note: this is not an automated service, and there will be a delay before you receive your license file.

• e-mail the file ip.txt to . We will then be able to choose the appropriate MAC address for your PC.

Note: this is not an automated service, and there will be a delay before you receive your license file.

If you believe that you have received and correctly installed your license file, then you can get Jim to print out more detailed messages about why licensing has failed. Press the button. This will pop up a further dialog containing detailed license debugging messages. You can use these to diagnose the problem, or e-mail the messages shown in this window to , to help us to diagnose the problem.
