• First head to the TSC Downloads Page. Choose your operating system and the download will begin. For non-Windows users, detailed instructions how to to install the clients are given as well.

• Save the download to a convenient location so that you can easily access the installer. Double click on the installer for the setup process to begin.

•After completion of the install, TSC will start up and the following registration screen will appear. Be sure to enter your real email address - TSC will not spam you.



•The TSC client will then need to access the internet and download candidates to process. This may take several minutes if you are on a slow connection.
