Overview > Installation

The following steps will get you up and running with DayNotez.

 

(Palm Users)

1) Open the downloaded Zip file and extract all the files into a temporary directory.  Run the setup program from that location.  Or, if you have downloaded the self-extracting Zip file, run that executable and follow the instructions.

 

2) At the completion of the install script an option is provided to install the application on your Palm OS device. Select that option.  If you have multiple Palm Users defined on your desktop, a selection list will be displayed.  Pick the user where you want to install DayNotez.  Click the Done button when the Install Tool dialog is displayed.

 

3) Perform a HotSync.  The DayNotez application is now installed on your handheld and ready for use.

 

4) After making entries on the Palm, synchronize again.

 

5) Run the desktop application either by double clicking the DayNotez icon in the folder opened by install, or by the start menu item found on "Start->Programs->Natara Software".

 

The license agreement allows you to evaluate DayNotez Desktop for 30 days before purchase. After 30 days of use, DayNotez Desktop will no longer synchronize changes between your Palm device and your desktop.

 

(Pocket PC Users)

 

The following steps will get you up and running with DayNotez.

 

1) Place your Pocket PC device in its cradle and ensure the device has an ActiveSync connection.

 

2) Double-click the downloaded setup file to start the installation wizard. Follow the wizard instructions.

 

3) Once the installation wizard finishes, DayNotez will automatically start on the Pocket PC. If the DayNotez Desktop application and synchronization support option was chosen (the default), DayNotez will also be started on your PC.

 

If you already have DayNotez installed on your PC and need to install DayNotez to your Pocket PC, use the "Install DayNotez on PPC OS Device" shortcut located at Start/Programs/Natara Software.

 

ss_noteNote: If, after the 30 days, you decide NOT to purchase a license, you should uninstall the product. Failure to do so will result in HotSync Manager not backing up your DayNotez Palm data, and you run the risk of loosing your entries if your device crashes and needs to be restored. HotSync Manger, by default, stops making backups of data file for any Palm application that has an installed conduit (such as DayNotez Desktop).
