How to download and install ENERCALC SEL on each computer that runs the software.

Install ENERCALC SEL

NOTE: You don't need to install ENERCALC SEL to access the cloud version.

Install ENERCALC SEL locally on every computer that runs the software. Don't install it on one computer and run it from another computer through a shortcut. The software won't run correctly in that configuration.

You can install ENERCALC SEL on any computer where you might use it. However, you must activate the software on the computer where you use it.

You can move an activated seat between computers through Internet Activation. An internet connection is required only while activating or deactivating.
