Step 3: Launching and authorizing PrintMusic

1. Windows Vista Users, right-click the PrintMusic icon and choose Run as Administrator. Windows XP users, double-click on the PrintMusic icon. It will be on your desktop. When you launch PrintMusic for the first time, you will see the Authorize PrintMusic dialog box. This dialog box continues to appear each time you launch PrintMusic until the product is authorized.
2. Click Authorize Now! to start the PrintMusic Authorization Wizard. Follow the simple instructions to authorize your copy of PrintMusic. Or, click Remind Me Later to authorize at a later time. You have 30 days to authorize your copy of PrintMusic. After 30 days, printing and saving are disabled until your copy of PrintMusic is authorized.

If you have Internet access (and are not running firewall, security, or virus software that would block information from being received back at your computer), simply select this option, and the rest is taken care of automatically.

Otherwise, select one of the other options for Manual via website, FAX, or mail and a window will be displayed containing a User Code. You may enter this code at www.finalemusic.com/register or print out this page and FAX or mail it to us. In any case, we will generate an Authorization Code that you manually type in to complete the process. Subsequently, our system automatically sends an e-mail confirmation of the information. If you selected the internet option, but have a firewall that blocked the information from being received, then you can manually type in the Authorization Code information provided.

Your copy of PrintMusic can be authorized on one operating system at a time, but with an Internet connection, authorization can be moved from one computer to another at will. Simply choose Deauthorize PrintMusic from the Help menu to pen up a free authorization slot. Your copy of PrintMusic can now be authorized on a different computer (or another OS installed on the same computer if, for example, you are running both Mac and Windows on an Intel-based Mac). Also, deauthorize prior to making hardware changes to your computer, such as replacing a hard drive. Doing so will ensure a slot is open to authorize after updating your hardware. When you deauthorize, printing and saving are disabled until authorization has been restored.

Note: PLEASE NOTE that the User/Authorization Codes are computer specific, and will only work on the given computer installation. Make sure that the Authorization Code is typed in using capital letters, and also verify that the correct serial number has been entered. If you have made a change to the computer (replaced the hard drive or motherboard, or installed a new operating system), and didn’t deauthorize prior to doing so, contact the Customer Success Team directly by email, FAX or standard mail with your serial number and the location ID for the specific installation in question, and one of our representatives can clear the previous authorization from your account. If the software is not "reminding" you to authorize when you run the program, then the authorization has been successfully completed.

Next, the MIDI Setup dialog box appears. Here, you can choose the devices you want to use for MIDI Input and playback. You’ll learn how to configure MIDI using this dialog box in the next section.

• Click OK. The Launch Window appears. From here, you can choose how you want to begin a new score, continue working on an existing project, or access reference materials. For example, choose Setup Wizard to begin a new custom document by specifying the title, staves, key signature, time signature, and other attributes for your new score. We’ll explain more about the Setup Wizard in chapter 1a.
