Installation

Windows installer

The Windows installer installs both the desktop application and the command-line tool. It includes its own Java runtime and does not require administrator privileges or a separate Java installation.

  1. Download the EDI Converter installer and run it.
  2. Follow the installation prompts, then open EDI Converter from the desktop shortcut.
  3. Select Help > Manage License…, choose your edi-license.txt file, and save it.

Request a trial license if you do not already have one.

Windows download warnings

The installer is digitally signed by MyArch Data Security Inc. Because it has not yet built a sufficient Microsoft SmartScreen reputation, Microsoft Edge or Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may still warn that the file is not commonly downloaded or that Windows protected your PC.

To download the installer using Microsoft Edge, select More Info (three dots) and Keep, then, if prompted, select Keep anyway using the dropdown menu next to the Delete button.

If Microsoft Defender SmartScreen displays Windows protected your PC when you run the installer, select More info > Run anyway.

License and logs

Manage License… copies the license to C:\Users\<username>\.ediconvert\edi-license.txt, where both the desktop app and CLI can use it. Use the same command to install a renewed license.

If the app reports a missing or expired license, open Help > Manage License… and check the installed license before trying the conversion again.

Diagnostic logs are saved under C:\Users\<username>\.ediconvert\logs. For alternative license locations and environment variables, see the CLI installation guide.

You are ready to convert your first file.
