	Register Apex

If you’ve been using the custom version of Apex 3 or the old version of Apex 2 originally distributed with WinTOTAL, you need not purchase an additional license. Everything will continue to operate as if nothing changed. To integrate your sketch program with WinTOTAL…

From the WinTOTAL Configuration Utility, click the Sketch icon in the toolbar.
Apply your changes and click Save.

Internet Registration

To register one of your Apex licenses on a workstation…

Install and launch WinTOTAL on the workstation. This can be a stand-alone computer, or a node in a local area network. Also, ensure that the computer has access to the Internet, either through an always-on connection or dial-up.
From the Sketching settings in WinTOTAL Configuration Utility, select the Apex option corresponding to the version you own. If you only have one available legacy Apex license type, it’s automatically selected for you.
Then click the Register link that appears.
The Apex Registration Wizard appears and gives you the option of registering through the Internet, or manually. We recommend using the Internet registration, as this speeds up the process significantly. Click the Internet Registration option and click Next.
Now, the wizard prompts you to enter your first and last names, and prompts you with the name assigned to this workstation. These items are used to help you manage which users and systems have your licenses in use. Complete the fields, then click Finish.
The wizard accesses the a la mode servers through the Internet and confirms that your customer account has an available license to assign to this machine. If so, the license is assigned, your account is updated and you should see a screen telling you how many licenses you have left. Click OK and you’re done.
If the wizard discovers that you do not have an available license, it prompts you with that information and directs you to contact the a la mode for additional assistance.

Fax Registration

If you do not have a connection to the Internet, you can register your Apex sketch software manually. To do so…

Install and launch WinTOTAL on the workstation.
From the Sketching settings in WinTOTAL Configuration Utility, select the Apex option corresponding to the version you own. If you only have one available legacy Apex license type, it’s automatically selected for you.
Then click the Register link that appears.
The Apex Registration Wizard appears and gives you the option of registering through the Internet, or manually. Click the Manual Registration option and click Next.
The wizard prompts you to enter your first and last names, and prompts you with the name assigned to this workstation. These items are used to help you manage which users and systems have your licenses in use. Complete the fields, then click Print.
Print the resulting document on your local printer and fax it to the number printed on the page. Service technicians then receive your fax and process your request, normally within a few hours. They then send you a registration code, either via fax, e-mail or by phone.
Once you have the code, return to the Apex Registration Wizard following steps 1-4 above and click the Register button.
Type the registration code you received into the field and click OK. The license is assigned and you should see a screen telling you how many licenses you have left. Click OK and you’re done.
