3 - Wait until the downloading process is finished. The completion of the download is indicated by a running security scan and the display of the scanning result.

4 - Check if the downloaded file is safe. It is recommended to do this at https://www.virustotal.com/#/home/upload where the downloaded file is checked by many antivirus programs. Checking with a single antivirus program installed on your computer may result in a false positive (a safe file is marked as unsafe) or a false negative (an unsafe file is not recognized).   

Step 2 - Embird Installation

5 - To install Embird on your computer, run the saved installation file in Windows: Select Windows -> File Explorer -> Downloads, select the installation file for Embird, right-click, and select Run as Administrator.  

6 - The installation process will start and the Embird setup window will appear on the screen. Follow the steps displayed in this window to install Embird on your computer.

7 - When the installation process is finished, the "Installation was successful" message will appear on the screen and the icon for launching Embird will appear on your desktop.

Step 3 - Testing Embird

8 - Unless you have already entered the password into Embird, it will run in demo (evaluation) mode. The demo of Embird is fully functional for 30 days or 100 runs, whichever comes first. You have plenty of time to find out whether Embird meets all your needs. After this period, you will have to enter the registration password into Embird to turn it into the full version; otherwise, the demo will expire.

You can test all Embird features even after the demo has expired (i.e., after 30 days or 100 runs after installation), but only with our free designs stored in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\EMBIRD32\FILES" folder (or in the "C:\Program Files\EMBIRD64\FILES" folder if you are using the 64-bit version of Embird) on your hard disk.

Step 4 - Testing Embird Plug-ins

9 - All Embird plug-ins are installed together with the basic Embird software.

Demo versions of all Embird plug-ins are functional even with the demo version of the Embird basic software. In other words, it is not necessary to register the Embird basic software to test the plug-ins.

Step 5 - Registration of Embird and its plug-ins

Please be sure before registration that you have tested Embird and its plug-ins and have found that they meet your needs. Be aware that there is no refund on registered Embird and/or plug-ins.

You will receive the passwords via e-mail after purchasing Embird and/or plug-ins at https://www.embird.net/sw/embird/register.htm within one working day.

Note: There are no special installation files for registered users. The demo (evaluation) version of the main program and plug-ins will change into the full versions after entering the registration password. In other words, there is only a single installation file for Embird, which runs in demo mode until you enter the passwords and unlock it for full mode.
