-Run the install file. At some point a nine digit computer number (for your installation) will be given and you will be prompted for a processing licence. To get a license, write an email to Thermo ( MSD.GTS_XPS@thermofisher.com or click [mailto:MSD.GTS_XPS@thermofisher.com?Subject=Standard%20processing%20license%20for%20computer%20number%20xxx%20-%20xxx%20-%20xxx here]) requesting a standard processing license. You will also have to inform which system the license has to be used for:
+In this section, all steps (import data, add peaks and backgrounds etc.) of the analysis are described.
-* XPS K-Alpha: Use 'System ID KA1002'.
-* XPS Nexsa: Use Serial number 9953214.
-Usually you will have an answer within a day or two. Use the license to activate Avantage and you are ready to analyze your data.

+CasaXPS has its own [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUqLBeW-UAjXC55HbRYOabQ Youtube channel] with more than 250 videos so it would be a complete waste of time to make any instructions here. Instead, this is where you as a CasaXPS user could contribute to this database: In case you found any Youtube video that was particularly good, please notify us and we will post a link.
+In order to use CasaXPS, you will need to export the data from Avantage and convert it into the Vamas format. Click [[Specific Process Knowledge/Characterization/XPS/Export2CasaXPS | ''this link'']] to find more information.
