1. Save the license file (GeographicCalculator.lic) you receive via e-mail from Blue Marble Geographics to a folder on your local machine, or to a shared network folder (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Your saved license file.

NOTE: E-mail software often renames incoming files, and the Geographic Calculator will not recognize a license with a name other than GeographicCalculator.lic as being valid. If your saved file has any other name, please rename it to GeographicCalculator.lic before attempting to import.

2. Open the Blue Marble Desktop. As a default, the application will display the license manager at start-up. If no license is present, it will display 'None' as the License Type for Geographic Calculator (Figure 2):

3. Click OK.

4. From the Menu Bar, select File --> Licensing --> Import License File. The system will present an Open dialog (Figure 3), from which you can browse to your local drive or network shared folder to retrieve the license file:
