Installation

For installing the software please double click on the file "SetupUntis[Version]UK.exe". 

We recommend that you do not change the default installation path. On an English Windows system this will be C:\Program Files\Untis, or C:\Program Files (x86)\Untis on a 64-bit system. Make sure you always perform installation with administrator rights. The same applies to all other freely selectable paths, descriptors and names, since this quick start brochure as well as all other manuals always refer to the suggested defaults.

The setup wizard will inform you as soon as installation is complete. From now on you can launch Untis by clicking on the application icon that has been placed on your desktop.

Welcome screen

When you start Untis for the first time a welcome dialogue will appear displaying information about Untis. It will also allow you to call the data entry wizard that will guide you through the input of essential data. You can launch the wizard with a double click.

Entering licence data

You will first be prompted to enter your licence data. (Your Untis partner will have provided you with a document containing your licence numbers.)

Please make sure to enter the licence data correctly. The application will automatically compute the modules you have licenced (cover planning, break supervisions etc.). Confirm your input with <OK>. You will find an overview of the individual modules available in the Modules chapter and also below.

Please note that the licence data are stored in a file and not in the application. If you therefore open the Untis file (.gpn file) with the registered licence data on another computer using Untis you will not have to re-enter the licence data.

Temporary licence

If you have a temporary licence, you must make a corresponding entry in the 'Expiry date' field. If you do not yet have a licence you may use Untis on a trial basis for 3 days. For this, click on the button <3-day express licence>.

Incorrect licence data

If an error message is displayed, please check your input with the details on the licence data document and correct the entry. All the characters of the school name and the licence number must be entered exactly as they appear on the document.
