Product Registration: The serial number included on the CD sleeve will only allow you to run the program from the CD and the CD must remain present in a local CD-Rom drive.

This Fifth Edition
Rescuer's Guide - Software version 1.2 runs independent from Adobe Acrobat
Reader. You do not need Acrobat Reader, nor do you need the patch
released in December of 2005.
The CD sleeves for both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of our Rescuer's Guide application state that Acrobat Reader 5.0 must be installed on the workstation. The term "or higher..." was purposely avoided because newer versions have implemented code changes that are known to be incompatible with the previous versions of the Rescuer's Guide application.
For version 1.1 you
can avoid these incompatibilities by clicking this link to
install the patch. The Rescuer's Guide Software Version 1.0 (Rescuer's Guide Third Edition) wouldn't allow a user to install the program unless Acrobat Reader 5.0 has been successfully installed. There is no fix for this version. |
After successfully installing the CD, operating instructions and other help
topics can be obtained by clicking on the help icon in the program’s menu bar.
