Where to Find and Use Your SAMSON Key During Installation.

For molecular modelers eager to explore the capabilities of SAMSON, the integrative molecular design platform, understanding how to locate and use your SAMSON Key during installation is crucial. Let’s walk through the essential details to get you started smoothly without any hiccups.

What is the SAMSON Key and Why Do You Need It?

The SAMSON Key is an integral part of the installation process. It acts as a verification mechanism to connect your SAMSON Connect account with the software. Essentially, without this key, you won’t be able to finalize your installation and activate SAMSON for use.

Finding Your SAMSON Key

The SAMSON Key can be located in two primary places:

  • Your SAMSON Connect Account Settings: Log in to SAMSON Connect and navigate to Account > Settings. Here, you will find your SAMSON Key ready for use.
  • The SAMSON Download Page: If you’re downloading SAMSON, the key is also displayed on the download page.

Refer to the FAQ page if you experience any difficulties: Where can I get my SAMSON Key?.

Using Your SAMSON Key During Installation

Once you’ve located your SAMSON Key, here is how to use it during installation:

  1. Download the SAMSON installer from the official download page.
  2. Run the installer and follow the setup instructions. You will be prompted to enter your SAMSON Connect account email and your SAMSON Key.
  3. Ensure that both are entered correctly to avoid connection errors.

If you’re connected to a network using a proxy, test your connection using the “Test Connection” button within the installer before entering your SAMSON Key. This ensures a smooth installation process.

Tips and Considerations

Here are some practical tips to ensure you don’t encounter any issues:

  • Always keep a copy of your SAMSON Key in a safe place to avoid searching for it again during updates or reinstallation.
  • If you need assistance, walkthroughs are available in the Troubleshooting section of the documentation.

Enter your email address and the SAMSON key you received at that address
