  3. Exit the text screen. A license configuration screen will appear.
  4. Click on the Sys Auth tab to obtain the system key number needed to register your copy of ChemCAD with Chemstations. You can an obtain authorization form by clicking here and printing a copy of the form.
  5. Submit this form with the "System Key" authorization number to Dr. Wiesner for his signature.
  6. Fax this form to Chemstations Inc. at the number given on the form. You may use the department fax. Dial 88-1-area code-number. Chemstations will then fax the form back to the Chemical Engineering department with the authorization key.
