Loadmate Download Page

This page allows you to download the latest build and documentation for Loadmate.

To install Loadmate do the following:

1. Download Loadmate by clicking on the above link and selecting Run or Save.
2. If Save was selected, choose a suitable temporary location to download to and press OK. When the download has finished, run the install program Loadmate_v6b12.exe.
3. By default, Loadmate will be installed into the C:\Program Files\Loadmate folder . However, the user may change the program folder, if he/she wishes.
4. This version of Loadmate uses a license file called Loadmate.lic for verifying that the user is entitled to run the program. The license file is issued by Ship Design Solutions and must be copied to the program folder, overwriting any previous temporay or trial license. Note that this version of Loadmate does not use, or recognise a Tribon dongle.
5. You should now be able to run Loadmate.
6. The data files for the ship may be located in a sub-folder, Vessels, under Loadmate, or any other convenient location. However, in the latter case, it will be necessary to setup an environmental variable, LM_DATA, which points to the alternative Vessels folder.
   
   
   
   

    

   The standard layout above, is equivalent to setting LM_DATA equal to C:\Program Files\Loadmate\Vessels. Note that for Vista and Windows 7, the vessel data cannot be located in the program folder, but somewhere where the user has read/write priviledges.
