Getting a License Key
You may request a license key to do a free trial of our cubes. Send an email to info(a)rystadenergy.com and we will contact you.
Install Cube Browser
Cube Browser is the common user interface for all cubes. Cube Browser is installed in minutes like any other Windows program. Go to Downloads for details. If you are able to start Cube Browser and type into the log-in fields Cube Browser is set up and ready for use.
Connectivity
As long as you have an Internet connection available you should not need to do any further customization for Cube Browser to work. However, many companies have strict firewalls or use proxy servers, which require specific settings. In such cases it might be necessary to configure Cube Browser before use. Read more about configuration here.
Registering the License Key
You will receive an email with your license key. In the log-in window choose Register a new license key. Paste in your license key and choose your username and password. Press Register. When the log-in dialog reappears log in with your username and password. Your personal username and password allow you to log in on any computer. Your username and password are personal, and not to be shared with others.
Training/Tutorials
UCube and other cubes are easy and intuitive to use. However, it may be useful to get some training due to the complexity of data sets and functions. Run through the tutorials below or contact support(a)rystadenergy.com for a web-based training session. Learn more about our cubes and Cube Browser on our support pages (press F1 in Cube Browser). The UCubeFree tutorial is a video mainly showing how to use Cube Browser on a simple data set. This applies to all cubes and the video is a good starting point for anyone starting to work with Cube.
