| 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.

your labor rates are expired, click here for more information.

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.

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.
