Installing Canvas^™ 7.0.1
Electronic Evaluation version

Windows 2000, 95, 98, NT

February 18, 2000

Welcome to the Canvas 7.0.1 Evaluation version! This document contains information about installing and trying out Canvas 7.0.1.

To install a time-limited, full-featured version of Canvas 7.0.1 for evaluation, you need an evaluation serial number. After entering an evaluation serial number during installation, you can use the full-featured Canvas 7.0.1 Evaluation version for 15 days. This version expires at the end of the 15-day evaluation period.

Before installation, if you need to obtain an evaluation serial number for Canvas 7, please go to the evaluation web page at http://www.deneba.com/dazroot/evaluate/default.html

Note: If you cannot obtain an evaluation serial number, you can run this version of Canvas in "demonstration" mode by installing it without entering an evaluation serial number. In demonstration mode, Canvas will not save or export documents, and documents you print will have a "Canvas" banner on each page.

If you need additional help installing Canvas, refer to the end of this document for information about contacting Deneba Software.

Installing Canvas

Before you install Canvas, please verify that your system meets the minimum requirements for running Canvas:

• Pentium™-class processor

• Microsoft^® Windows^® 95 / 98 / 2000 or Windows NT^® 4.0 or later

• 32 MB RAM

• 80 MB free hard disk space

• 16-bit color or higher

• 800 x 600 or higher resolution

To install Canvas

To begin installation, double-click the file "Setup.exe" located in the same directory as this Read Me file. The Canvas Setup program displays instructions and options for you to select.

• On the Software License Agreement screen, read the license agreement and indicate your acceptance of the license agreement by choosing I accept the terms.

• You can choose to install Canvas with its complete feature set by choosing Complete; or, if you only want to install certain components or install Canvas in another directory, select Custom.

Choosing a default color space

The Setup program asks you to choose color presets based on your typical work. You can choose RGB or CMYK color presets. The installation screen explains the typical uses for these types of colors. The color system you choose determines which default inks Canvas loads into the Inks palette. It also affects colors in the Strokes palette, the mode of the Color Dropper tool, and the default printer calibration setting. However, this choice does not limit your ability to use any color system that Canvas supports. You can choose either color option during installation, and later change color system settings in Canvas.
