1. Installation/Uninstalling Procedure
To install the PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit software on a new computer you should run
the pcgrate.msi file from CD or the directory where pcgrate.msi is located. At first,
the installer offers you to read the license agreement. You have to accept the terms of
the license agreement to proceed with the installation. Then the installer shows you
PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit overview. At the next step the installer offers you to
choose the main PCGrate* 6.5 directory. Installer automatically detects if you have
64-bit operation sustem instralled and installs native 64-bit executable files and
dynamic link libraries, otherwise 32-bit executable files and dynamic link libraries are
installed. During the installation, the executable files PCGrate.exe, Solver.exe will be
placed automatically in this directory together with the dynamic link libraries necessary
for work, BorderProfileEditor.exe and RIEditor.exe will be placed to Editors subdirectory.
The program files, data files and examples related to the console solving utilities will
be placed into the ConsoleSolver subdirectory of the main PCGrate* 6.5 directory. The
installer places the refractive index library files (*.ri and *.ari types) in the
RefractiveIndices subdirectory and profile examples in the BorderProfiles subdirectory.
During the installation process you will be asked about installing (updating)
the Sentinel HASP® HL device driver.
Also, the installer creates shortcuts to PCGrate-S(X) 6.5, Border Profile Editor, and
RI Editor and places them on your desktop and into the main menu group named I. I. G. Inc
including the PCGrate* 6.5 group with the same and other shortcuts. Checking/unchecking the
appropriate check boxes during the installation, you can customize this behavior. The
information, which is necessary for running the PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 Main application, Solver
application, editors and saved results, are automatically stored in the registry.
NOTES
• PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit is a copy-protected program. It requires a hardware key to
be inserted into the computer’s USB port. This serialized “key” is provided separately.

http://www.safenet-inc.com/products/software-rights-management/sentinel-hasp-hl/.
• If you work with some Windows operation system but do not have administrator‟s privileges
then the installation may fail. You will be informed about this fact before the installation
starts.
• You can install all kinds of programs of the PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit series together,
including PCGrate Demo v. 6.5 32/64-bit, PCGrate-S v. 6.5 32/64-bit and PCGrate-SX v. 6.5
32/64-bit, on your computer. However, it is strongly recommended not to run programs of
different kinds simultaneously (i.e. the PCGrate Demo 6.5 Solver application and the
PCGrate-S(X) 6.5 Main application). You can also have the earlier PCGrate®-S(X) v. 6.1 32-bit,
PCGrate®-S(X) v. 6.2 32-bit, PCGrate®-S(X) v. 6.3 32-bit, and PCGrate®-S(X) v. 6.4 32/64-bit
series software of any kinds or types installed on the same machine, but it is strongly
recommended not to run different versions simultaneously and not to mix files of different input
and utput formats in the same directories. However, if you uninstall the PCGrate®-S(X) v. 6.5
32/64-bit or higher you may need to reinstall the previous version to register program components.
• The different types of the PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit series software are installed
using the same installation package and the type of your installation (GUI, XML or Complete)
is determined by the Sentinel HASP® HL key.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Please, keep in mind, that during the installation process all installable files and
subdirectories in the destination directory and the contents of the
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\I.I.G. Inc.\PCGrate* 6.5” registry key will be updated, but
all other files may be saved.
The reinstallation process can be initiated running the same installation procedure once
more and clicking the Reinstall button. During the reinstallation, the executable files
PCGrate.exe, Solver.exe, BorderProfileEditor.exe and RIEditor.exe will be replaced
automatically together with the dynamic link libraries necessary for work. If you would
like to update your current PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit software you must run, at first,
the deinstallation process and, then, a new (updated) pcgrate.msi file from the directory
where pcgrate.msi was downloaded.
The deinstallation process can be initiated using two ways:
• Using the ”Add/Remove Programs” Windows tool.
• Running the same installation procedure once more and clicking the Remove button.
During the deinstallation process, the uninstalling program will ask you a question about
the types of files you want to delete: results, projects, exports, XML projects for Console
solver or/and other files. Other PCGrate-S(X) v. 6.5 32/64-bit files will be deleted by
default, but you may alter this behavior using check-boxes.
