Activating FotoFusion (Online, Lite, CD, Offline)

If you have downloaded FotoFusion from the Internet...

1. Ensure that you have a fresh copy of the software -- download a trial copy of FotoFusion.

Visit www.LumaPix.com and click 'Download Now' to get the latest build. Run the installation; do not save it.
This will automatically download and install a free version of the software on your machine, overwriting any existing copies you may have.

The unregistered version will place watermarks on output (renders, prints) to distinguish it from a registered copy, but is otherwise fully functional. You can try out all the features available at all levels to see what level of FotoFusion is right for your needs.

A feature comparison chart is available on the LumaPix website to determine what license type is right for you; also consult the Which Version? section of this manual.

2. If you have not already done so, purchase a FotoFusion license from www.LumaPix.com.

You can purchase FotoFusion in two ways:

•	From within FotoFusion by choosing 'Purchase FotoFusion' from the Help menu in FotoFusion, or

•	By visiting www.LumaPix.com and clicking 'Buy Now'.

Either method will send you to the LumaPix web store, where you can select the version of FotoFusion which is right for you. Simply enter your contact and credit card information and submit the order. Our secure vendor site can accept orders from anywhere in the world.

3. Receive confirmation of your purchase by email.

Once your payment has been successfully processed, you will receive an email containing information needed to register the software.

4. Launch FotoFusion while connected to the internet.

5. Choose 'Activate FotoFusion' in FotoFusion's 'Help' menu.
Enter your user id, which was provided in your confirmation email from support(a)lumapix.com.
Create your own password (which you will use should you need to reinstall the software again).
Submit this info to relaunch FotoFusion, now activated.
Your software will now be registered to you, and unlocked at the level of your license.

If you have a cd-rom copy of FotoFusion in a cd-jewel case, with an alpha-numeric code...

You have purchased a fully-licensed copy of FotoFusion, at the level indicated on the packaging (Scrapbook Essentials, Enhanced, Extreme). The box may have been packaged with a printable album kit, or may have been sold as a stand-alone item.
If you are reading this User's Manual, then you have already successfully installed FotoFusion.

To activate the software, enter your user id, which is included in a sticker inside the cd case.
Create your own password (which you will use again if you need reinstall the software), and a name for your computer.
Your software will now be registered, and unlocked at the level of your license.

If you have a cd-rom copy of FotoFusion that came packaged with printable paper goods, that does not contain a code...

If there is no code provided, you are running a copy of FotoFusion Lite.
FotoFusion Lite will allow you to print the templates included on the cd-rom. There is no license code included in the package. Learn more here.

If you need to install FotoFusion on a computer that is not connected to the Internet...
If your computer is NEVER connected to the Internet, you can still activate the software. You will need access to a computer that is connected to the Internet to do so.

To install the software on an offline machine:

•	On an online machine, visit www.LumaPix.com and select DOWNLOAD NOW.

•	SAVE the file (lumapixsetup.exe) to the desktop, then transfer it to your offline machine.

•	After transferring it, double click on it to install the software.

To Activate:

•	Click on HELP on the menu bar and select “Activate FotoFusion (offline)” You will see an alphanumeric request code. Copy (select-Ctrl C) this text.

•	Paste the request code into a word processing document (e.g. Windows Notepad, to avoid extra coding), and save this file to an external memory device, such as a memory stick or memory card.

•	On an online machine, visit http://www.lumapix.com/wsv3/activatev4.aspx

•	Type in your user id (your email at the time of purchase).

•	Open the text file you have transferred to from your offline machine.

•	Copy (select + Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the request code into the 2nd field on the web site.

•	If this is your first activation, create a password. If you have previously activated FotoFusion, you will need to include the password you created at the time of your first activation.

•	Finally, give a name to your computer and submit.

•	After completing the steps, you will then get back another very long code. Copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) it back into the text document. Save the document and return the file to your offline machine.

•	Click on "HELP >> Activate FotoFusion (Offline)" again.

•	In Section 2, type in your user id and copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the very long code.

•	Click ACTIVATE NOW.

This will unlock your copy of FotoFusion.

Be sure to periodically update your software by visiting our website and transferring the lumapixsetup.exe file to your offline machine. Reinstalling will not affect your activation or your saved projects.

You will also need to download the Help file separately from http://www.lumapix.com/web_downloads/downloads_helpfiles.shtml

Save the Version 4 html file and transfer it to your offline computer to C:\Program Files\LumaPix\FotoFusion V4. You will be able to access it in the Start Zone >> Learn area, or by clicking on HELP on the menu and selecting Help.
