The process for purchasing a single-user license of Respondus or obtaining a 30-day free trial is nearly the same. In both cases, you must first download and install the software. Then you need to either purchase a permanent activation password or register for a temporary, 30-day password.

Institutions with a Campus-wide license of Respondus should contact their license administrator for download information.

Important Instructions:

There are 5 steps to downloading and installing Respondus.

1. Download the installation program.
   
2. Install Respondus. Locate the Respondus4.exe file downloaded in Step 1. Double-click the file to start the Respondus installation program. Several screens will guide you through the installation program. Once Respondus is installed, start the program by double-clicking the Respondus icon that is now located on the Windows desktop. Or follow these steps to start the software.
   
   

   Click [Start] from the Windows desktop
   Click [Programs]
   Click [Respondus]
   Click [Respondus 4]

   The first time you start Respondus (and each time thereafter until the program is registered), you will be presented with a screen that provides the "Product ID#." The Product ID# is used in Step 3 to obtain the password required to activate the software.

3. Purchase a permanent activation password or register for a free 30-day trial. The appropriate password is immediately e-mailed to you.
4. Enter the password in the Respondus software to activate the program. That's it!
