6. For a first time installation, you will be prompted to enter your two part ZipStream registration number. The two numbers you need are supplied with the packaged product. Enter the two numbers into the entry fields provided and then click on the OK button. Click on Cancel if you are not registering at this time. In this case you can register later using the ZipStream Registration Utility.
7. After the installation is complete, click on the Exit button in the Device Driver Install window.
