Installing Your Copy

The HyperChem 8.0 Evaluation download is a self-extracting executable that will install the evaluation copy of HyperChem. This evaluation copy of HyperChem 8.0 will install and run under Windows 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP and Vista.

Having begun the installation process, the options you will need to make will be "standalone" and then "software-license". Once this is done you will need to use the serial number of 12-800-1501799999.

Having begun completed the installation process, you will need execute HyperChem to invoke the "Client Activator" and then select the "Activate Now" button. You will then see a locking code on the screen (e.g. something like C-123AB). E-mail the locking code to license@hyper.com with a request for a temporary evaluation license. We will respond by sending you a license file (*.lic) that you can use to activate HyperChem. Place the *.lic file from your e-mail somewhere onto your computer where you can find it. Execute HyperChem again and this time when you select the "Activate Now" button, click on the lower right-hand corner to bring up a dialog box where you navigate to the *.lic file on your computer and read it in. Having read the license file, you should now be able to use HyperChem for 10 days.

NOTE: You will not recieve an evaluation license for anything other than a software-licensed standalone version.
