1) Visitor interested in demo version

Although Ellipse demo version has all functions of the full version, it can be tested only on a limited set of registered images.  Filling in the following form enables download (no personal information is required, e-mail is not obligatory).

If you want to test Ellipse demo with your own images, send them as an e-mail attachment to consult@ellipse.sk. You will get back a file which makes your images acceptable for Ellipse demo.

2) Registered user

Two important codes are written in the Licence document (in CD version they are printed on the cover of CD):

1. Authorization code for Internet access (looking something like "d207f85"). This code is different for each user and for each  Ellipse version. Within one year free upgrade period, registered users will get the new authorisation code (on e-mail request sent to consult@ellipse.sk).
2. Serial number required during installation.

Uninstalling of the old Ellipse version is recommended before upgrade. Installation is straightforward - just fill in the form bellow, download and unzip installation file. Run Setup.exe file and enter the serial number when prompted.

Licensed users have also a possibility to download previous version of Ellipse (version 2.06).

3) Developer of plug-in modules

Only registered developers can download SDK, examples source codes and Plugin Wizard allowing them to design own Ellipse plugin modules. Any licensed Ellipse user can contact us via e-mail consult@ellipse.sk to be registered also as a developer.  We will make his user's authorization code valid also for downloads of SDK and Plugin Wizard. Before contacting us you should have:

1. Last licensed Ellipse version  installed.
2. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (or compatible) and experience with object oriented programming.

After contacting us and receiving our reply that you are registered as developer use your authorization code to fill in the form bellow. Download both SDK and Plugin Wizard. It is recommended to put unzipped SDK directory into the Ellipse working directory, that means SDK directory and Ellipse.exe should be in the same folder. For instance, if the Ellipse.exe is installed in "C:/Program Files/Ellipse", then the "solution" file path is: "C:/Program Files/Ellipse/SDK/Ellipse/Ellipse.sln". The recommended folder for PluginWizzard.exe is the Ellipse working directory, too.

If the "solution" file "Ellipse.sln" is opened with Visual C++,  it initially contains only "Templates". PluginWizard allows to generate  a new project based on the proper Template (e.g. "MyModule.vcproj"). User can add new project into the solution by ordinary way. Recompilation (building) of this project  will generate new Ellipse module  "MyModule.dll" in Plug-ins directory.
