Initial Setup
If you choose to create a new dance database you will be asked for the folder to use before continuing. By default the dance database will be created in a My Dances folder within your Documents folder.
Clicking the Next button will prompt you for the name of your dance database. By default the database will be named Dances.mdb.
After choosing the name of your database click the Next button to confirm your database choice.
Clicking the I accept this configuration checkbox will enable the Next button. Clicking the Next button confirms your database configuration and takes you to the license configuration section. Your new database will not be created until you reconfirm your choice at the end of setup.
Software License
DanceWizard is licensed in either a Basic or Standard edition.
When first installed it provides complete access to all features in the Standard edition for the first 180 days. A Basic or Standard license must be activated before this 180 trial period expires to continue using the program. See the Editions page for more information on the features available in each edition.
If you have a license file for DanceWizard click the Install a DanceWizard license option to select and install the license, otherwise click Next to continue the setup in unlicensed mode.
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Display of Portable Document Format (PDF) cue sheets by DanceWizard requires that the Adobe Acrobat Reader program (and browser extension) are installed.
If you do not already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed (this is needed to view PDF format cue sheets) then you will be prompted to install Acrobat Reader. You should cancel setup and install Acrobat Reader before restarting the setup process.
The Adobe Acrobat Reader software can be downloaded and installed from https://acrobat.adobe.com/us/en/acrobat/pdf-reader.html.
If Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed but the browser extensions aren’t enabled you will be prompted to enable the browser extensions (this is needed to view PDF format cue sheets). Click the Enable Browser Extension to have DanceWizard enable the extensions.
ActiveHome Remote Control Software
Use of X10 remote control with DanceWizard requires that ActiveHome software is installed. See the Remote Control topic for information on configuring and using X10 remote control.
If you do not have the ActiveHome software installed you will be promoted to install it (if you want remote control).
The Active Home software can be downloaded and installed from http://kbase.x10.com/wiki/Activehome_Pro_SDK.
Finalizing the Installation
You are now prompted to confirm your choices for the installation.
When you’re ready to finish setup click the Proceed with database update checkbox followed by clicking the Next button to finalize the installation and start DanceWizard running.
