To download and install Roof Wizard with web licensing, you'll need to access the AppliCad customer portal, download the appropriate version, and complete the license registration process.
🧾 System Requirements
Before starting, ensure you have:
Internet connection for license verification
Valid AppliCad customer account with current support
Administrator rights to install software
Backup of existing data files (recommended)
🔧 Download Process
Navigate to the AppliCad website at www.applicad.com
Log in to the License Manager page under the Services tab, using your email address and password. If you don't remember your password, use the password recovery option.
Create registration if needed: If you haven't registered before or aren't listed as the primary contact for your company, you'll need them to create a new registration for you.
Check license status: The status of your current licenses will be displayed. At the bottom of the list, you'll see a download button for the software version you're entitled to access.
Download the software: If your support arrangements are current and paid up, you'll see the [Download Roof Wizard version 12.n] button.
🛠 Installation Process
Locate the download: Once downloaded (usually to your Downloads folder), find the executable file.
Choose the correct version: Run either Roof Wizard 12 me.exe (metric version) or Roof Wizard 12 ft.exe (imperial version) by double-clicking. Install only one version, not both.
Run installation: The installation script will copy all required files over your existing installation, updating all current utilities. The installation does not overwrite your existing data or job files.
⚠️ Important: As a matter of good housekeeping policy, make a backup of all your files before installing new software.
🔧 License Registration
Once installed, the software connects to the AppliCad license server to check your license status. On first run, you'll see this dialog:
Choose registration option: You can run in ReadOnly mode (to open, check, and print existing jobs) or proceed with full registration.
Start registration: Click the Check ID's button to begin the license registration process.
Enter license details: Insert your unique Company ID and User ID from your My Licenses page.
Complete registration: Insert the respective codes provided and you'll be ready to use Roof Wizard.
