Installation and Preparation

The PEMPro installer should check for the Microsoft .Net Framework 1.1 but if not already installed you will need to install it.
Install ASCOM 4.1 or later drivers.
Install PEMPro.
Start PEMPro and enter registration information if you are starting a 60-day trial or have purchased a license.

PEMPro 60-day Trial

PEMPro can be evaluated for 60-days to see if it meets your needs. Just download PEMPro and install on your PC. While evaluation is active all features are available.

Purchase License: pressing this button will take you to the CCDWare store where you can immediately purchase a PEMPro license key. The license key will be available immediately.

CCDWare Support Forum: pressing this button will take you to the CCDWare support forum. Please post a message there if you have any problems running PEMPro or with the trial or license registration.

Ok: Pressing this will take close this dialog. If the evaluation period has not expired PEMPro will then start.

Entering a Full License Key

If you have purchased a PEMPro license key simple cut and paste all five lines of the license into the text area in the PEMPro Trial dialog. After doing that the PEMPro Trial dialog will no longer appear when PEMPro is started.

IMPORTANT: Treat your full license key as confidential information. Please do not share it with anyone. A full license entitles you to install PEMPro on any number of your own personal computers but note that you are licensed to use PEMPro on mounts or scopes that you personally own.

Other Preparations Before Running PEMPro

Confirm that MaximDL v3.22, MaximDL v4.50 (or later), CCDSoft V5.00.174 (or later), or AstroArt V3/V4 (or later) is installed on your PC.
Start MaximDL, CCDSoft, or AstroArt and connect to your camera to make sure the camera connects OK.
Confirm that you can connect to your telescope with your planetarium program (e.g. TheSky or DeskTop Universe).
