RS-232 DATA TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL INTERFACE
February 2015 - Galactic GRAMS/AI 9.2
Dear Customer:
If you use earlier versions of GRAMS/AI this version is different. Please follow these instructions
carefully!
Step # 1 You need your license file that Buck Scientific Inc is normally going to have in a license disk
directory on the CD-ROM file. Ex: Acct123456.lic
Step # 2 The program can be downloaded from http://www.gramssuite.com/downloads/grams92 but
Buck will also include a copy of the files unzipped in the GRAMSAI9 directory.
Step # 3 Run GRAMSSuiteSetup.exe, it will load the Grams Converters and then the main Program. If
you do not have Microsoft.Net Framework 4.0 installed this will also load from the executable before
the GRAMSAI Suite is loaded. It will also load a custom C++ driver if you do not have it installed.
Step # 4 Choose the install location for the GRAMS Suite program and the GRAMSAI data files. The
default is C:\Programs Files\Thermo\GRAMS Suite for the program. For Vista and Windows 7 you
normally don’t want the data files loaded under Program Files so pick something like C:\
GRAMSSuiteData for your data files so they are easy to find.
Step # 5 If this is the first installation the Program will say the license database is missing or out of
date. Use the browse button to find the license file and it will open them to show what programs were
purchased and then you apply the licenses. When done pick OK.
Step # 6 The GRAMS configuration manager will then check the registry for the GRAMS file types
and then ask you if you want them registered, you want to pick YES. Then choose Exit to finish the
configuration manager and Finish to close the Install Shield wizard.
Step # 7 Some copies of GRAMS/AI 9 will need a FLEXnet license installed. If you try to run a
GRAMS Suite application and you get a “FlexNet License failure” click OK to continue. A request
License dialog box will open. That should find your computers MAC address. You normally want to
choose the address on your network card not a virtual number which can change. Click OK after
choosing the permanent one.
Step # 8 Your email program should open with that MAC address in the body of the letter. If not send
that address in an email to sales@gramssuite.com and they will provide you with a Flexnet license.
Step #9 If you needed the Flexnet license when you receive it run the GRAMS Configuration manager
and choose “Products”, “Apply Flexnet License and browse to its location and install it.
The GRAMS AI Suite programs should now run.
