Notes:

A. In Windows, a shortcut to the ACT can be found in the Programs Menu under Aculab\v6. For Linux systems you will find the ACT executable in the ‘bin’ subdirectory of the v6 installation (usually at ‘/usr/local/aculab/v6’).

B. Please ensure that the pasted licence key text does not contain blank spaces or tabs, otherwise the key may fail to install.

C. Microsoft IE7 or later, or other browsers such as Firefox 3.x or Chrome should be used to access the system.
