Chapter 1: Getting Started
Installing Antares Microphone Modeler
Instructions for installing Antares Microphone Modeler for your
specific platform are located in the Microphone Modeler Read Me
file on the CD ROM. This file may also contain any last-minute
Microphone Modeler information that didn’t make it into this
manual.
Authorizing Antares Microphone Modeler
Authorization (the process by which the Microphone Modeler
software installed on you computer is allowed to run) is accom-
plished by a technique called “Challenge/Response.” This is de-
scribed in detail in the Read Me file, but basically, the first time you
launch Microphone Modeler you will be presented with a string of
letters (the Challenge) and will be asked to enter another string of
letters (the Response).
To receive the appropriate Response, you will need to provide us
with both proof of purchase and your Challenge string. Here are the
options for accomplishing this:
Proof of Purchase:
• Fax a copy of your warranty card with the serial number sticker
attached to [phone]. This is a preferred option in that you
can be certain that it has arrived prior to your requesting your
Response.
• If you have access to a scanner, scan your warranty card with the
serial number sticker attached and send it as a JPEG attachment
in the same email as your Response request (see below).
• Mail us your warranty card with the serial number sticker attached.
You should only rely on this if you don’t have access to either of
the other options, as you can never predict when it’s actually
going to arrive. (However, you should still mail the warranty
card in any case, so that we can have it physically on file.)
