Pre-configured (Trial) Copies of Actinic

You may have a pre-configured copy of Actinic. This may be because your ISP or Web Host has a specific server set up for you to upload to. Alternatively, you may be evaluating Actinic on Actinic Software's trial servers.

You can tell if your copy of Actinic is preconfigured when:

·      The 'Web Site Configuration Wizard' (in 'Web | Configure Web Site Details' is greyed out.

·      In 'Web | Network Setup' most of the fields are greyed out (disabled).

Uploading A Pre-Configured Copy Of Actinic

When your copy of Actinic is pre-configured, you do not have to enter any settings manually in 'Web | Network Setup'. All you need to do to upload is enter your username and password.

If you do not have a username and password, you need to contact the company that you received the software from.

Note: In the case of an Actinic trial CD, you will need to register online to get a username and password. The Actinic Software trial registration address is: http://trials.actinic.com/ The registration process will give you a username and password to enter into Actinic, and a URL where your store will eventually be uploaded to.

The username and password you receive can be entered in the following places:

·      When you first start the software.

·      When you first press the 'Update' button  or go to 'Web | Update Website'.

·      Anytime in 'Housekeeping | Security'.

·      When you first convert your standalone copy of Actinic to a trial copy of the software. The import file referred to in this window is provided by whoever set up the pre-configured Actinic web server.

Once the username and password have been entered, the store should upload to the server correctly, and you will be able to view it at the URL you were given.
