Downloading the RowPro software package

The RowPro software package is shipped in the following formats:

RowProSetup.exe

This is a download package shipped as a single file that you can download from the Digital Rowing Download Center. It includes everything required to run RowPro except the Microsoft.Net Framework. When this exe is installed, the installer checks your PC for the .Net Framework, and if .Net is not already installed as part of your Windows Operating System, the installer automatically downloads the .Net Framework from Microsoft and installs it in your PC along with RowPro. The RowProSetup file is approx 40 MB and the .Net Framework is a further approx 25 MB.

RowProCD.iso

This is an exact image of the RowPro CD that you can download as a single file from the Digital Rowing Download Center. It includes everything required to run RowPro, including the Microsoft.Net Framework and full documentation. This iso file can be burnt directly onto a CD-R by any commercial CD-R burning software that can handle iso files (most can). When the iso file is correctly burnt onto CD-R, the iso file itself disappears and all its contents are laid out on the CD exactly the way they are laid out on the physical RowPro CD product shipped by Digital Rowing. The iso file is approx 65 MB.

RowPro CD product

This is a physical boxed CD product that you can purchase in the Digital Rowing Online Store. This CD includes the RowPro CD product in the same form as is contained in the RowProCD.iso file as described above, except that the CD is printed and boxed, and a Quick Start Guide is included.

 

All these versions of RowPro require either a purchased license or a 20-day free tryout license to operate. When you start RowPro, the Activation Manager opens automatically and assists you to get and install one of these licenses.

When RowPro is run with a 20-day free tryout license, the Training Plan Wizard is limited to creating two training plans, and the number of users is limited to one. After operating for 20 days, RowPro will require a purchased license to continue operating.
