This chapter describes how to install Ez3d. Ez3d is currently shipped on a CD-ROM. It can also be downloaded from Radiance's WWW site (http://www.radiance.com/~radiance). After installation, you can use the product in "demo" mode where you can use most of the tools available in the fully functional version, but you cannot save your work or render. You must then contact us or your Ez3d salesperson to obtain a fully-functional license for Ez3d.
