INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING Contribute3

 

Please download the Contribute3 program by double clicking on the following URL:

 

http://rsdfoundation.org/techtest/DOWNLOADS/Contribute3Installer-en.zip

Save the “downloaded file” to your Desktop and then open and install the software.

Once installed, you can delete the downloaded file. If the Install Wizard asks for a Site License Number, then use the following: CTD300-53131-17280-81457

Attached to a separate email, a Contribute Connection Key will be provided that will facilitate access to our RSDHealthCare.org web site, the RSDfoundation.org web site or both.  You will get a call with the password for each Contribute Connection Key you receive.

Once you’ve installed the Contribute3 software, close the Contribute3 program, and then double click on the Contribute Connection Key that was sent to you as an attachment.  It should open the Contribute3 program and give you access to create or edit web pages on our web site.  During your first connection, please be sure to spell out your first and last name when prompted by the connection wizard.  Once you make that 1st connection to our web site via the Contribute Connection Key, you should always (subsequently) access the program by simply opening the Contribute3 program. That is, you will NOT need to use the Contribute Connection Key each time; just the first time.

If you have problems making a connection using the Contribute Key, please try making a manual connection following the instructions at the following site:
