necessary files onto the hard disk of your computer. This
operation must be done before you can start using Pizzicato. You need to follow the procedure explained in this lesson. If
you cannot execute one or more steps, do not hesitate to contact
our support department. Together, we will solve the problem. The Pizzicato manual includes several lessons on computer
basics. If computers are brand new to you, you can refer to these
pages as a first approach. We also advise you to read the
introduction manual of Windows or Macintosh. Also play the guided

code system. This personal code can be calculated by us
only after the installation of Pizzicato on your computer. This
is why you will not find this code on the original DVD nor in the
box of the software nor in the instruction e-mail of the
electronic version. So that we can communicate this personal
code to you, please send us your license and
identification numbers located on the top left corner of this
dialog box. If your computer is connected
to the Internet, you will find in this dialog a button that will
help you to send the request for a personal code. Fill in that
dialog and validate. It is the easiest method as you will receive
the personal code by e-mail usually within ten minutes. You can use the software for 20
hours without the personal code. After that, it will run in
Shareware mode (without license) or evaluation mode. To receive your
personal code, you can also go on the registration page and fill
