Download DokoDoko
The trial and the full version are the same app. How long you can use it is set by the license file (license.json) we send you by email.
Both contain the same app and the manuals in English and Japanese. The main download uses English file names only.
No license yet? Request a free trial and we will send you a 14-day trial license. With a trial license, the output shows a "TRIAL" watermark.
Five steps to the control screen.
Quick_Start.pdf and the manual inside the zip have the details.
- Download the zipUse the button above. Leaving it in your Downloads folder is fine.
- Unblock the zipRight-click the zip → Properties → tick Unblock under Security at the bottom → OK. This stops the Windows warnings for files from the internet, all at once.
- Extract it and put it where you likeRight-click the zip → Extract All. Put the "DokoDoko" folder inside anywhere you like, for example the Desktop or
C:\DokoDoko(not inside Program Files, which cannot be written to). DokoDoko does not start from inside the zip. - Save license.json from our emailSave the license.json attached to our email to the Desktop or Downloads. Do not open and re-save it in Notepad: the signature would no longer match.
- Double-click "Start_DokoDoko.bat"It finds and loads the saved license.json, then opens the control screen in your browser. To control it from another device on your LAN, allow access when Windows Firewall asks.
Windows checks files from the internet.
Windows asks before opening a downloaded file for the first time. Step 2 prevents this. If a warning still appears:
"The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?"
Click Run.
"Windows protected your PC"
Click More info, then Run anyway.
You extracted it before unblocking
Delete the extracted folder, unblock the zip (step 2), and extract it again. The extracted files carry over the zip's warning.
From the trial to the full version
No reinstall needed. Your templates and images stay as they are.
- Save the new license.jsonSave the license.json we email you to the Desktop.
- Double-click "Update_License.bat"It is in the DokoDoko folder. It works while DokoDoko is running, and also when it no longer starts because the license has ended.
- Read the result and close the windowReopen "More > License" in the control screen to see the new period. The "TRIAL" watermark on the output disappears within about a minute. No restart needed.
Renewing a time-limited license works the same way. One license is for one PC. If you would also like a backup PC for your shows, please contact us.
