How to Install Business Plan Pro

Business Plan Pro installation

Starting a business is no small endeavor. One thing that can make the process easier is access to adequate capital (money). You can get investors to either 1) lend you money in exchange for a stated rate of interest (debt) or 2) purchase a stake in your company (equity). Both will likely require a business plan to explain your business concept and general investment opportunity to potential investors. One popular business plan software is called Business Plan Pro.

Instructions

1. Determine the serial number for your software program. Serial numbers are considered proof of ownership and can be found on the software package (retail) or within the Help files of the software under "About Business Plan Pro." You will also find the serial number in the e-mail order confirmation received after purchasing the software.

2. Be sure your system has the requirements for the installation. The system requires an operating system from Microsoft Windows 7*, Vista, XP Service Pack 2, or 2000 Service Pack 4. The system typically requires 100 MB of free space and is not currently available on Mac on Linux. However, see Resources for a link to version updates.

3. Download installer files from the software downloads page. To download, you will need to enter the e-mail address used to originally register the product and the product serial number.

4. Run the Activation Wizard. This will automatically verify your software license and prevent piracy. No personal information is needed or exchanged in the installation process.

5. Restart your computer to complete the installation process.
