## Installation, Configuration, and Registration
How to install, configure, and register CNS Image.

### Installation

Installing CNS Image is very easy. If FileMaker Pro is open, then close it. Next, locate the folder on your hard drive that contains your FileMaker Pro application. For Macintosh, this is usually in the Applications folder; while on Windows, it is usually in the Program Files folder. Next to the FileMaker Pro application, you should see a folder named Extensions. Copy the plug-in file into this folder to install it into FileMaker Pro.

After installing the plug-in as described above, you can open FileMaker Pro again and set the defualt preferences if you wish. To do this on Windows, go to the "Edit" menu, and then select "Preferences". This should bring up the "Preferences" dialog. Next, click on the "Plug-ins" tab, and then double-click the CNS Image plug-in. On Mac OSX, go to the "FileMaker Pro" menu, and then select "Preferences".
