Installing the ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 application

   Note: Permission to access this software is given upon purchase of an ERDAS license through UITS; see At IU, how do I purchase software from ERDAS?

4. In the ERDAS_IMAGINE_2010 window, accept the default destination folder (C:\IUware Online\ERDAS_IMAGINE_2010) or browse to a new folder, and then click Install. This will unpack the ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 compressed archive on your local system.
   
   
5. To launch the ERDAS IMAGINE InstallShield Wizard, open the setup.exe file from the ERDAS_IMAGINE_2010 folder.
   
   
6. To install and configure ERDAS-Net licensing, click Install. When the ERDAS IMAGINE 2010 InstallShield Wizard window appears, click Next to continue.
   
   
7. Accept the license agreement, and then click Next.
   
   
8. Accept the default destination folder for installation and click Next.
   
   
9. By default, all available modules will be installed. To avoid wasted disk space, you can choose to deselect unnecessary modules. Click Next, and then click Install.
   
   
10. When installation is complete, check Launch License Manager to specify licensing information, and then click Finish. The ERDAS-Net License Admin Tool window will appear. Continue with the appropriate set of instructions below.

    Note: If you had a previous version of IMAGINE installed on your machine, you will see a message instructing you to copy the batch and/or the sessionrecovery file from $HOME\.imagine930 to $HOME\.imagine1000 . Follow the instructions, and then click OK to close the window. If you are using Windows Vista on the ADS domain, the sessionrecovery file is located at C:\Users\username.ADS\.imagine930 .
