Please download the latest uniGUI Setup from the customer portal.

You will notice that there are two Setup versions:

FMSoft_uniGUI_{Edition_0.XX.0.YYYY}.exe This is the one which will be installed on developer PC for development purpose.
FMSoft_uniGUI_{Edition_runtime_0.XX.0.YYYY}.exe This one is only for deployment and will be installed on server computer hosting your uniGUI apps.

Accept the license agreement and press Next.

Obtain license key

Starting from version 0.99.95 the license keys are directly obtained from an activation server.

Enter your password and press the "Get License Key" button. This fills the License Key area with an appropriate key.
Alternatively click the blue link: "Web link to license key..." — this opens a browser window with a page containing your key which you can paste into the License Key area.

After the key is acquired, press Continue to proceed to the next step.

It is also possible to save your acquired license key in a local file and use it the next time you re-install the same edition and version of uniGUI.

Select installation folder

Important: Make sure Delphi is not running while the installation is in progress. The current version of the installer will not warn you about this.

Press Install to start, and complete the installation process.

Open Delphi and the uniGUI project group

Start Delphi and open the project group for your Delphi version. Example: uniGUI_D10_3_Rio_PlusGroup (Delphi 10.3 Rio).
