This document provides a step by step installation of ETAP 5.5.6 License Manager, which is required for USB Key – ETAP-OTI 1600. To use this new key, you will need to install the ETAP 5.5.6 License Manager as provided in the enclosed ETAP 5.5.6 August 2007 CD. Note that this new USB key is not compatible with the ETAP 5.5.5 License Manager, which was previously provided on the ETAP CD labeled only ETAP 5.5.6.

After installation, ETAP 5.5.6 may prompt you for an Activation Code the first time you run the software. This 36-character activation code is located on the ETAP CD sleeve. If you are upgrading from the previous release of ETAP, the activation code can be found on your existing ETAP 5.5.6 CD sleeve.
