To install PurifyPlus:

1. Verify that your swap space is set to at least 100Mb, the minimum recommended.
2. Run Setup.exe and follow the onscreen instructions.

Notes:

• You are installing a licensed Rational Software product. The product you have purchased includes either a node-locked or floating license. Please refer to the instructions in the Startup License Key Certificate (included in the product package) for installing a startup license key to get started using the product.

  For detailed information about Rational Software licensing and how to work with node-locked and floating licenses, please refer to the Rational License Key Administrator online Help (Licadmin.hlp), available by clicking the Help button in the Rational License Key Administrator.

• The Rational Solutions for Windows install disk includes numerous Rational Software products. However, the startup license key you received can be used to run only the product you purchased. If you would like to install and evaluate other Rational Software products that are available on the install disk but that you have not purchased, please contact Rational Software.

• If you have licensing questions and problems and you can't find the solution in the License Key Administrator online Help, please contact Licensing Support. For contact information, look up "contacting" in the Rational License Key Administrator online Help index.

• PurifyPlus must be installed after Visual C++ and Visual Test in order for it to install an integration with these tools. If you installed one of these tools after PurifyPlus, simply re-install PurifyPlus to get the integration.

• PurifyPlus can be installed as part of Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio. When you do a custom install of Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio, and you choose to install only PurifyPlus, Rational Software Setup installs additional components that are not used by PurifyPlus. For example, SQL Anywhere.

• To uninstall a previous copy of PurifyPlus for Windows, double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel and uninstall PurifyPlus. The uninstall program removes all of the files associated with the PurifyPlus installation.

  If you do not do an uninstall, but instead install a new version of PurifyPlus over a previous version, be sure to delete all files in the cache directories of each of Purify, Quantify and PureCoverage first. Your application and its modules must be reinstrumented after installation to operate correctly with the current release of PurifyPlus.
