Version: 3.1  3.0

 

  Registering as a MapSpeller™ User


  A variety of MapSpeller licenses exist: PC-based, Citrix-based, ELA-based. Therefore, everyone using the software must register with Edgetech. The person who registers the software is automatically registered as a user and therefore, in such case, the procedure below is irrelevant.

The procedure below should be followed by all other users accessing MapSpeller on the PC or Citrix server. It important that it is followed under their user names. No Windows Administrative rights are needed for this.

If you are not seeing the MapSpeller toolbar in the list of ArcMap toolbars (ArcMap > Customize > Toolbars > MapSpeller), open Windows Explorer and double-click on the MapSpeller esriaddin file that resides within the downloaded, saved zip file (or on your CD if you have one). This will install the add-in portion of the software. No need to extract the esriaddin file first.

  • If you share a PC with MapSpeller and/or haven't installed the software yourself, you will need to register yourself as a user. This is done from the MapSpeller Options dialog.
  • If you access ArcGIS on one or several servers from one or several terminals, you will need to register yourself once as a MapSpeller user per server. You must also have purchased the terminal server MapSpeller license.

To register as a user, follow the same procedure as if you were registering your PC or terminal. The Licensing form will be blank and its Register button enabled.

 
Important Notes
 
  • Registering as a user (without installing the MapSpeller 3.x Dependencies) doesn't require Windows administrative rights and, when using the procedure outlined above, should be done by end-users themselves.
  • System administrators in charge of registering multiple users should consider an alternative method.
