Install on Removable Drive / USB-Stick

Run the setup package and select "Install as portable application onto your USB-Stick" during the setup wizard. You can then use AM-Notebook on any computer without installing it on that computer.

All configurations and notes will be saved in the installation directory and AM-Notebook will not leave any traces on the host computer.

Please note, that only the program files are installed with that feature, not the program configuration or the notes. Configurations and notes must be copied manually.


Limitations of the portable version:

  1. It's not possible to create Desktop icons from the Options menu

  2. The spelling check works only if the dictionaries are installed on the host computer. Furthermore it's not possible to add new words to the dictionary

  3. And last but not least, the Portable version of AM-Notebook does not have a Trial version of the PRO-Edition. If you don't enter a valid license key, you will automatically fall back to the Freeware Edition.


How to enter the license key in the Portable version

Click on "TRY AM-Notebook PRO" in the main menu bar, this will open a dialog where you can find the button "Enter License Key". Click that button to enter the license key.

If you got a .key file after ordering AM-Notebook, then copy the file notebook1.key into the installation directory and start AM-Notebook.
