The short introduction provides a step-by-step overview of the initial setup process, including setting the title, entering copyright and other author-related information, loading images, and inputting image-related details.

Saving the project file is optional and not required for distribution purposes. However, it can be useful if you plan to make future changes to the package. The projects are saved with the "*.myepixae" extension.

Installer Add-on for My ePix AE
Most publishers simply provide an .epx package that users import into their existing ePix installation. If you prefer to distribute a full Installer that handles installation and import in one step, this extra add-on is available for additional €49.95 per year or up to 10,000 installations (whichever comes first). Setup is required and provided on request.
If you need more installations, just let us know and we'll offer a solution that fits your needs. You'll receive a file to host on your own server, or a download link your users can access from ours.
See how this works in the Monaco Aquarium example below. During installation, the code MONACO AQUARIUM automatically links the program to the Aquarium at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco ePix Edition.
