             To use SoftPC, you need a SoftPC license for each con-
             currently active user. Please ensure that you have the
             appropriate license for the software you intend to use.
             Licenses can be obtained from a Digital sales representative.

              _ EGA graphics support

              _ Availability on both RISC and VAX

              _ File-sharing support

              _ Ability to run on workstations or time-sharing systems

          Before you install DEC SoftPC Version 2.2:

              _ Check to see that all the items listed on the Software

                Bill of Materials are included in the software distri-
                bution kit and are undamaged. If any items are missing
                or damaged, or if you find any defective media during
                the installation process, contact your Digital sales
                representative. The first line of the label on each
                media item lists the part number you need to order the
                replacement item.

                                                                         1

 






              _ Be sure to read the online release notes. Step 4 of the

                installation procedure allows you to display, print, or
                copy the release notes.

              _ Carefully read Chapter 3, VMS Installation, in the DEC

                SoftPC User's Guide. Familiarity with this information
                will help ensure a successful installation.

          DEC SoftPC for VMS comes with a warranty as described in the
          Software Product Description (SPD) addendum. If the SoftPC
          software fails to perform as described in the SPD, fill out
          a Software Performance Report (SPR) and mail it to the address

          process.

             If you have a Digital support contract, it remains in effect.
