I think that I need a little more detail for the installation instructions....
"In Joomla backend -> Go to Installers - Components
and install the component."

Does the above mean to install the contents of the "component" folder (as in FTP the entire folder to my /com directory? I ask because that's what you get when you unzip the download as instructed ("unzip me first" -- all the individual files of the component folder. Or was I supposed to install the unzipped file? (which will install from the Installers ->Components)?

Okay so far it looks like I'm to the point where somehow I'm supposed to install the trial license, but can't figure out how to do that.

There is this: "For easy and time-saving license installation use our `JoomPlace License Manager` component created for all our ioncube encoded components. Read its description and way it works here"

But the problem is that the "here" link (www.joomplace.com/joomla-components/efor...nager-component.html) gets me to a page on your site that says that I'm "not authorized to view this resource."

Hi!
I'll attach it here, and I also fixed that page, so it should be accessible now.
If you have more questions, let us know.
Regards!
