Read Me First

OpenBook requires that you restart your computer during the installation process. To avoid problems, always download the OpenBook release to your computer first instead of running the executable from the Windows Download dialog box. The following briefly describes how to download and install an OpenBook release.

  1. Select the appropriate domestic or international OpenBook download link that appears on this page.
  2. When the dialog box opens, choose Save and select a location where you can easily find the downloaded executable file.
  3. Run the executable and follow the talking installer.

Demo Version of OpenBook

If you want to try a free, fully-functional demonstration version of OpenBook, select the link below in the Download Link section to install and use OpenBook in 40-minute Demo Mode. The software is fully functional for 30 days. There are several advantages to having one release. For example:

  • It eliminates the need to have a separate demo download file or demo CD.
  • You can take advantage of the Check for Updates feature in the Help menu to conveniently update demo software installed from a CD picked up at a show or downloaded from Freedom Scientific.

For more information about demo products, see Freedom Scientific Demo Software.
