Installing HeavyBid Tips

• Before starting an installation, make sure to have adequate permissions to install software.
• Obtain a valid, company specific registration code. The install can be completed without the registration code, but HeavyBid will not be able to run. After installation, HeavyBid will require the registration code for the initial run. For more info, check this article: How to Find/Look Up HCSS Registration Codes.
