Workstation Installation

1. Download the current installation setup program as advised by CDA Software.

It’s a good idea to download this program into a permanent location on the workstation (for single-user installations) or (file) server (for all other installations) in case you need it again in the future. We recommend a folder named Updates inside the folder where your database(s) (will) reside.

2. If this is a new installation you should have received Licence details via email from CDA Software. Copy the Licence Name and Key from the email into a regular text file and save it in the same folder as the installation program in step 1. If it is a re-installation and your licence details are unchanged this text file may already be present and the details can be re-used. If neither of these apply contact CDA Software for a new Key.

3. Login to the workstation as an Administrator and go to Control PanelAdd or Remove Programs. Click Add New Programs and browse to the installation setup program file downloaded in step 1, then select and run the setup program.

  • You must accept the End User Licence Agreement to install the program.
  • On the Setup Wizard’s Customer Information page under Install this application for: select the option Anyone who uses this computer (all users).
  • On the Setup Wizard’s Setup Type page select the Typical option. The Custom option is only required for Terminal Server installations.

4. If this is a re-installation and Windows has not also been re-installed go to step 6. Otherwise run the Grain Trader program. After a second or two you should see the Demonstration & Evaluation Version window. Click OK.

5. Select the Help | About menu and click the Registration button. Enter the Licence Name and Key, as advised by CDA Software and saved to a file in step 2 above.

It’s much easier and it avoids the likelihood of errors to copy these details from the text file and paste into the boxes on the Enter Key window.

6. Close the program and restart it to verify it runs OK. If your installation of Windows is so configured, log off Windows and login as a user and confirm the same.

If you have been running a Demonstration & Evaluation version of Grain Trader, you may wish to clear the Most-Recently Used File entry for the demonstration database. To do this, select the Utility | User Options menu and the Most Recently Used Files branch on the tree menu, check the entry to be removed and click Delete Checked.

7. If there are any problems please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.
