Installing Codenizer

Both, Commercial and Free (Demo) version of Codenizer, are available as standard Windows Installer packages, so you should find yourself familiar with entire installation process. Both versions will install executable 'codenize.exe' with some additional files into directory you choose. You should also know few things about these other files. With codenize.exe you will also receive 3 php files: 'class.php', 'function.php' and 'constant.php'. Class.php contains declarations of all builtin classes as of PHP 5, function.php contains declarations of all PHP library functions (contained in all modules), and constant.php contains, as you may already guess, all PHP constants (from all modules). List of all these symbols is rather big and it is possible there is something left out. If you find something missing or incorrect you can fix it by yourself by editing appropriate file, however we strongly encourage you to make backup of original files before that. These 3 files are parsed before any of your scripts, so if you make some errors in these files you will receive messages about that. We would also like to kindly ask you to inform us about our mistakes.

Activation

After installing commercial version you will need to activate it. Activation process should go smoothly if you are connected to internet. On its first run codenize.exe will connect to our server to obtain activation key for you. You should note that no personal information will be transmitted during activation. However if you prefer to manually control this activation process you can prevent codenize.exe from connecting to our server using some firewall, or temporarily disabling your internet connection. Starting codenize.exe (just browse to the folder where you installed it and double-click it) after this will display that it is impossible to connect to activation server and it will display url that you need to visit using your favorite browser. You will have to enter manually some activation codes from that page. Once activated codenize.exe will not contact any server on the internet nor attempt to transmit any data.

Additional tasks

If you plan to use Codenizer from command line it would be good idea to add directory where you installed Codenizer to your path. Please see your operating system manual for more information how to do this.
