User Manuals

When Motion is installed on one of our desks, it is usually configured to open automatically when Windows starts. If it does not open automatically, there is a desktop shortcut that can be double clicked to open.

ℹ️
If this is a fresh installation of Motion, you will need to verify the installation using a unique License Key. You will be prompted to enter the license key. To obtain this, please contact Absolute Motion Control. Please note that licenses are locked to a specific device. Any changes to the hardware configuration of that device may invalidate the license.
