QUESTION:
I currently have the annual subscription of FireScout and plan to upgrade to the permanent license. How do I install the permanent license so that I don't lose my game files, custom keyboards, and other data?

ANSWER:

1. Insert the FireScout Football permanent license CD into the CD-ROM drive. The installation wizard should start automatically.
2. Choose to create the "Backup" folder and choose the scouting program that you want to install.* The "Backup" folder is created in the "VS2002" folder.
3. Follow the instructions for completing the remainder of the installation wizard.
4. In the "Backup" folder, delete the *.exe file, the shortcut file, the register.dat file, and the license.dat file.
5. Move the remaining files from the "Backup" folder to the data folder of the program. The following list gives the data folder for each FireScout program.

   Program	Data Folder
   FireScout Football Defense	fb_def
   FireScout Football Offense	fb_off
   FireScout Basketball	fb_baskQK
   FireScout Baseball	fb_base
   FireScout Hockey	fb_hockKey
   FireScout Soccer	fb_socc
   FireScout Volleyball	fb_voll

6. When you start the program, it will ask you to register the product with Quik Scout. You can register in one of three easy ways.
   • Use the Quik Scout Product Registration Form.
   • Email techsupport@quikscout.com with the information on the program screen.
   • Call during normal tech support hours.

*For FireScout Football, you will need to do two installations. First, install Offensive Scouting. Once you have copied the files from the "Backup" folder to the "off_fb" folder, you can install Defensive Scouting.

Follow the same procedure if you are upgrading from the 30-Day Try-and-Buy program to either the
annual subscription or the permanent license.
