Installation of two cards with 5.1 software .exe file
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2015 3:30 pm
Hello all,
I’m upgrading my SCOPE machine to an HP z400 Workstation. I’m installing in two(2) SCOPE 14dsp cards. I have purchased and downloaded Scope 5.1 software for the 1st card. The second card runs on 5.0, and has a few 5.0 plugins. I have never installed from downloaded software before – always installed from CD. What are the best steps to take (sequentially) to install the two cards in the new machine?
1. Should I physically install the 5.1 card 1st? Then, install the 5.1 software from the downloaded 5.1 .exe file I downloaded? I assume running this .exe file will install the card’s drivers, and then the 5.1 software, correct?
2. Should I then physically install the second card? All I have for the second card is key files for the software. Will I be automatically prompted for the keyfiles, at which point I point the software to them? Is this all I need for the second card and its plugins?
3. Or, should I physically install the cards at the same time, and then run the 5.1 .exe file? If I did that, I assume it would ask for the 1st card’s keyfiles first, and then ask for the second card’s keyfiles?
4. Or, maybe this is all wrong, and I should do something else??
Thanks in advance.
