To install a full license of CDS3.1 you have to carry out the following steps.

1. Download CDS from the download page

2. Unzip the file to a folder of your choosing and run the setup.exe file.

3. Follow previous instructions to install the software. Installation of CDS3.0 on a previous 3.0 installation will update the old version.

4. Run the software. If you do not already have a key installed click in the "Request Key" button.

5. Fill out the form below and click the "save to file" button.

6.  Email the generated file to jtierney@udel.edu. A key file is created for your specific computer and will be emailed back to you.

7.  Start CDS3.0  and click the "Import Key" button. Select the .key file that was emailed to you.

8.  The software will now work and you can click the "Start" key to use it. Based on the license granted, specific features of CDS3.0 will be unlocked and ready for use. 

The CDS3.0 key files will eventually expire so if you are a valid user you may request a new key.

You can email jtierney@udel.edu for a replacement key file with a new expiration date.

You can determine what features are unlocked in the CDS versions section
