kitox-kit application Setup Guide

I.		Supported CAD platforms and operating systems:
		1.	AutoCAD 2000+ (full version, not LT)
			a)	Windows (tested on Windows 10, 11),
			b)	should also work on other versions of Windows as long as you can run AutoCAD.
		2.	BricsCAD V14+ (all versions from Lite to Ultimate)
			a)	Windows (tested on Windows 10, 11),
			b)	macOS (tested on Sonoma, Sequoia),
			c)	Linux (tested on Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora),
			d)	should also work on other versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux, as long as you can run BricsCAD.

II.		Setup:
		1. Unzip the downloaded package.
		2. Start your DWG-based CAD program.
		3. Type APPLOAD at the command line (or _APPLOAD in a localized, non-English version of the CAD platform). Alternatively, drag and drop the installer file into your CAD program window.
		4. Select and load the LOAD_kitox-kit_v26.10.02-19 setup file. Its file extension depends on the CAD platform:
			a) FAS for AutoCAD,
			b) DES for BricsCAD.
		5. AutoCAD may display the "Security - Unsigned Executable File" or "File Loading - Security Concern" warning several times.

		Please click the "Always load" button for the following files:
			a) LOAD_kitox-kit_v26.10.02-19.fas (installer file),
			b) kitox-kit_acad2027en.mnl (menu loader file; the exact name depends on your AutoCAD version),
			c) kitox-kit.fas (application file).
		You can also add the installation folders to Trusted Locations in the Options dialog, or use the TRUSTEDPATHS and TRUSTEDDOMAINS system variables.

III.	Free Trial and Licensing:
		1. After setup, kitox-kit works for 1 day without activation.
		2. To extend the trial period, send the activation file by email from the Licensing dialog.
		3. Commercial licences can be purchased from the eStore, accessible from the Licensing dialog.
		4. To open the Licensing dialog, click the Licence button on the toolbar or use the KK-LIC command.
		5. With valid maintenance, up to two (2) licence transfers per maintenance year are free of charge. Each additional transfer in the same maintenance year is charged at the maintenance price. This option is for computer replacement or repair, not Licence Sharing.
		6. Each licence transfer request without valid maintenance will incur a maintenance upgrade fee based on the version difference.

IV.		Unloading kitox-kit:
		1. Unload the toolbars. Use this option to remove the toolbar buttons while keeping the program files and your settings for future use.
			a) Click the "Unload kitox-kit Toolbars" button in the Licensing dialog, or
			b) Use the _MENULOAD command to unload the kitox-kit menu.
		2. Delete application files and user settings. Use this option if you no longer plan to use kitox-kit.
			a) Click the "Delete kitox-kit" button in the Licensing dialog. This deletes all #KitoxApplication# files. Shared files and files of other applications remain on the disk.
		3. Delete the "%USERPROFILE%\kitox" (Windows) or "~/kitox" (macOS, Linux) folder manually.
			a) NB! Some folders and files are shared between applications and CAD platforms. Be careful if you use more than one kitox application or work on more than one CAD platform: deleting shared files may cause problems with the other programs. Do not delete other kitox folders: they contain settings and licences shared with other applications and CAD platforms.
