Labor Rates Registration Instructions
1.  Install the appropriate Cinergy software, if you haven't already done so.
If Cinergy is already installed on your computer, just proceed to step 3.  Either the Standalone Labor Rates Program, or the trial or retail version of Cinergy MPPS must already be installed before you can begin the registration processes.  

The software installation should be complete before moving on to the next steps.  During the installation, you may be asked to reboot your computer.  Be sure to do that before proceeding with any more steps.   If you did not receive a Cinergy CD-ROM, or have not yet downloaded the software, get it here.

 

2. The installation will be complete when you click the "Finish" button in the install program.
If you are asked to reboot, be sure to do so before continuing to the next step.

 

3. Download and Install the latest labor rates database, if you haven't already done so
The easiest way to download the latest labor rates database is to use the Update Wizard.  If the Update Wizard does not show any labor rates available for download, then you already have the most recent available rates, so you can proceed to step 4.  If your rates have expired, click here for more information.

For instructions on using the Update Wizard, click here.

 

4.  After installation is complete (and you rebooted, if you were prompted to do so), launch the Labor Rates program
This can be done one of two ways:

Method A: If you are using the standalone labor rates program, click on Start > Programs > Cinergy > Labor Rate Browser.

Method B: If you are using the larger Cinergy production management system, launch Cinergy, then go into the budgeting module, then click on the labor rates icon.

If your get a message that your labor rates are expired, click here for more information.

 

4.

Select "Step 1" of the registration process, and then click the NEXT button.
This will begin guiding you through the registration process.

Note: If this screen does not appear, your currently installed rates are already registered. 
If your computer tells you your rates are expired, click here for more information.

 

5. Submit your information in order to receive the License Key codes that will unlock your software.
If you are not connected to the Internet, you can email this information from another computer.
Email can be sent directly to support@MindstarProds.com.  Or you can communicate with us using MSN, Yahoo, or AOL Instant Messengers as described on our web support page.

Be sure to list a valid email address, and the serial numbers from your box.  If you didn't receive a box, be sure to select the Electronic (Boxless) purchase option.  In either case, a serial number, receipt number, or explanation for the serial number request must be entered into the last box. 

 

6. Check your email for a reply from Mindstar Technical Support
After Technical Support confirms the validity of the information you sent, a serial number and license key number for your labor rates will be emailed to you within 24 hours.

The numbers emailed to you may sometimes be different from those you received in your software box.  If this occurs, be sure to use the numbers that were emailed to you.  The newer numbers sent via email will supercede any numbers in your software box.

Important: The registration codes you receive will only be valid on the particular computer you registered, and only for the version of the labor rates you registered.  If you need to use your second install to register your labor rates on another computer, you must perform the registration process on that other computer too, and you will receive a different set of registration codes for the second computer.

 

7. Launch the Labor Rates so you can enter your License Key registration numbers
Launch the Labor Rates program using either Method A or Method B, described earlier in this document.

 

8. Select "Step 2" of the registration process, and then click the NEXT button.
This will continue guiding you through the registration process.

 

9. Enter your serial numbers and license keys.
Enter the Serial Number and License Key numbers which were sent to you via email by Mindstar Technical Support into the appropriate spaces, then click REGISTER.   The registration codes you receive are only valid for the particular computer you registered, and only for the data version you registered.

 

10. Click the REGISTER button to complete the registration process.
You should see a message indicating that your registration was successful.  If the window does not close automatically, click the CLOSE button and you are now fully licensed to start using Cinergy 5.
