Install the Software from the CD
The software installation process is routine compared with other software installation
processes. To be complete, the following steps outline the installation process:
Step 1.
Insert the CD into your PC.
Step 2.
The software that automatically runs is the Cisco Press software to access and
use all CD-based features, including the exam engine and the CD-only appen-
dices. From the main menu, click the
Install the Exam Engine
option.
Step 3.
Respond to window prompts as with any typical software installation process.
The installation process will give you the option to activate your exam with the activation
code supplied on the paper in the CD sleeve. This process requires that you establish a
Pearson website logon. You will need this logon to activate the exam, so please do register
when prompted. If you already have a Pearson website logon, there is no need to register
again. Just use your existing logon.

book (if you did not do so during the installation process), as follows:
Step 1.
Start the Pearson Cert Practice Test (PCPT) software from the Windows Start
