Downloading

First, download the Universalis installer.

Click here to download

Next, you need to run the Universalis installer so that it can install the Universalis program for you.

How you do this depends on your browser. There are differences between how browsers handle these things, not only from browser to browser but between versions of browsers. Here are a couple of examples:

Example: Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP

Other versions will look a bit different but will behave in a similar way.

After you click on the Download button Internet Explorer will ask you if you want to run or save the file UnivWin.exe:

We recommend that you choose "Run", because it's simplest. Once you have chosen "Run", the file will be downloaded, and Internet Explorer will ask you again whether you want to run it:

Choose "Run", and the Universalis installation will begin.

Example: Firefox 8.0.1 on Windows XP

Other versions will look a bit different but will behave in a similar way.

After you click on the Download button Firefox will ask you if you want to save the file UnivWin.exe:

Choose "Save File". The Downloads window will open, and will show you the progress of the download.

When the download is complete, an entry will appear at the top of the Downloads window, looking something like this:

Double-click on this entry.

Firefox may ask you:

If this question appears, choose "OK".

Finally, it will ask you if you really want to run the downloaded file:

Choose "Run", and the Universalis installation will begin.

Installation

Whichever browser you have used, once the Universalis installer is run it will show you the licence agreement and ask you to agree to it.

Once you have agreed to the licence agreement, the Universalis installer will install the Universalis program.

What happens next

You now have the Universalis program installed on your computer.

Here are operating instructions.

To start with, the program works as a free one-month trial version. You can either try it out during the trial period or enter a registration code at once to make it a full, unrestricted version.
