First you need to download and install a Carmenta Engine SDK, and an SDK license with the Nautical Chart Extension.

Create an activation request for the license, using the Carmenta License Key Manager utility.

Send the activation request to us, and inform us that you also need an S-63 user permit embedded in the license.

When you receive the activation, install it with Carmenta License Key Manager. In the window displaying the license details, you should see an S63.Userpermit field. This is your unique S-63 user permit, now bound to your development machine.

Contact an S-63 data provider, and purchase the data cells you need. You will need to supply your user permit from step 1.

Typically you will receive a zip file from the data provider containing both the encrypted data cells, and one or more permit files, with decryption keys to unlock the cells.

Decide where you want to keep your S-63 database files, i.e. designate a folder on a local hard drive. This folder will be populated with some control files and decryption keys, but will not contain any actual data. The data will be read from where you unpack the data delivery. Here we will use "C:\temp\s63db".

Use the S63Manager utility to create the database first time:

In the data you received there should be one or more files called PERMIT.TXT. Each of these should be imported to your S-63 database:

In the data you received there should be one or more S-63 exchange sets; folders containing either a MEDIA.TXT or a SERIAL.ENC file. Each of these folders should be registered in your S-63 database:

Finally, create a Carmenta Engine configuration file with an S57DataSet, and set its S57DataSet.S63DatabasePath property to the path of your S-63 database. Use an S52Visualizer to visualize the data.

Load and display the configuration in Carmenta Explorer or in your application.
