Installing Your Contribute Key

In order for you to use Macromedia Contribute to edit content on the UMW web site, Contribute needs to know some information about your account and the website. This information is stored
in a "connection key" file that you will need to import into Contribute. That key file is stored
in your personal work space on the intranet.

Your Contribute key will be sent to you in an email message.  Once you get this key, you should save it.  You’ll then need to import and personalize this key.

Here are more detailed instructions:

  • Once you received an email message with your Contribute key attached, save the attachment in a location where you’ll be able to find it later.

  • Start up Contribute.

  • Go to the Edit Menu and choose My Connections.
