Installing RapidWeaver

Installing RapidWeaver is quick and easy. All you need is the rapidweaver.dmg file from either the Realmac Software downloads page or your retail DVD. You may also like to take a look at our mini video tutorial on Installing RapidWeaver. If you ever need to re-download RapidWeaver, you can simply visit our downloads page for a fresh copy.

Drag the RapidWeaver icon (on the left) into your Applications folder in the Finder. Then all you need to do is eject the disk image and delete the original download .dmg file from your Downloads folder. Now that you have installed RapidWeaver, it’s time to find it in your Applications folder and launch it.

Registering RapidWeaver

Whilst we would love you to register RapidWeaver with a shiny new serial number and unlock the demo version you have downloaded, you can run it in demo mode for as long as you like. The demo limits your project to three pages.

If you've previously purchased RapidWeaver, but can't find your serial number it's easy to retrieve it. Simply visit our Lost Serial Number page and follow the instructions! If you are still unable to find your serial number, simply drop us a note and we'll be able to help you further.

When RapidWeaver launches for the first time, you will be prompted to do one of three things:

• Purchase RapidWeaver (Either a full licence, or an upgrade from version 3.5)
• Enter a valid serial number
• Run RapidWeaver in Demo mode

After you’ve made your choice, go ahead and create a new project by using the ‘New Project’ button, or the File > New Project menu option and you're ready to get started.
