PDACookbook™ Quick Start Documentation
Introduction:
PDACookbook™ allows easy recipe management, meal planning, shopping list management, and
more from any Windows Mobile handheld and Windows PC. This document provides information on
the handheld software, as the PC software has its own complete help file system. You may want to
print this document for easier reference.
Installation:
To install the software, download the setup file (usually PDACookbookPalm_Setup.exe) to your PC.
Then, double click the .exe setup file to start the PC installer. The installer will install the PC software
first. When the software is first run after installing, the handheld software will be installed.
Registration:
The software is initially installed as a trial version. After purchasing, a 5-digit registration code is
provided. This 5-digit code is entered in the blank area on the startup screen on the handheld or on
the PC software from the Help / Register menu. Once the registration code is entered on either the
handheld or PC, the registration code will be transferred to the other version when synced. The
registration code unlocks the full version features. No additional installation is required.
