Installing FlexPDE 4
on Macintosh OS X

Whether the installation is from CDROM or Internet download, your installation file will have a name like
   fpde400macx.dmg.sit

  • The "400" might be replace by another number, such as "401a". This is the version number of the release.
  • "macx" means this version is for Macintosh OS X. Be sure that the file you select identifies the correct hardware and operating system for your computer.

Merely download the installation file or copy it from the CD.  Then

  • Unstuff the .SIT file (your browser may do this automatically after download).
  • Mount (double-click) the .DMG disk image.
  • Double-click the flexpde4.pkg file.
  • Follow the instructions on your screen.

FlexPDE4 will be installed in the folder "/Applications/FlexPDE4" on your primary drive.

Note: Installation of FlexPDE requires administrator privileges.

Dongle Installation

Licensed use of FlexPDE4 Professional Version relies on a hardware license device, or dongle.  Before the license dongle can be recognized on any computer, you must install the dongle driver.  The dongle installation program is located on your CD, or can be downloaded from www.pdesolutions.com/v4support.html. Once the dongle driver is installed, you can upgrade versions of FlexPDE without reinstalling the dongle driver.
