-To use TAD, it is mandatory that you obtain a membership in our team chat system +To use TAD, it is mandatory that you obtain a membership in our teamTAD community system. This is now being managed by the world famous powerful [[discordserver|Discord]] system. 
 + 
 +**Using a non-Windows machine?**\\ 
 +No worries! TAD Designer Lite has very low system requirements. It can work on many Operating systems that have the WINE sub-system in it. [[wine|Read more here!]]
  
 **To become a registered user of TAD, do this:**\\ **To become a registered user of TAD, do this:**\\
-  * Fill this registration form **[[https://www.teamtad.com/regform.html|using this link]]** 
  
-Once you submit that form, you would be emailed further instructions on three simple steps you need to take to start using TAD.  Please check your //spam// folder as sometimes this email gets deposited there.+**Just 2 steps to get started**\\ 
 +The 2 steps are quite simple:  You need to enroll into the [[https://discord.gg/KxuHQax|Discord based teamTAD Community]].  Then you need to download the installer from here https://tad.in.net/tadsetup.zip 
  
-The 3 steps are quite simple:  You need to enroll into the TAD Community. Then you need to download the installer from a special link we would give you. Lastly, you need to use an //install code// sent to you in that email in order to run the installer.+When installing, it will NOT  check if you have a membership at our TAD Community. But when you run TAD, it will authenticate you. Read about how this [[authentication|authentication is done]].  If you do not join our community, you can run TAD in demo mode, using a valid email address. 
  
------+The authentication may seem clumsy at first; but it is important for you.  Each TAD file you create has a stamp of the registered user. It protects your data. In case your data goes to another office, they cannot open it without your permission. Hence it is critical that your username is registered. Another important reason is because we want to get a high-qualify focused audience. TAD is anyway NOT a general purpose software.
  
-//The following material is **Deprecated** It is only kept here for historical reasons. After July 26, 2020; they are not relevant//+After you complete the installation, you can start using TAD straightaway.
  
-You need to get an account at our chat system . A confirmation email would be sent to your email address when you setup the chat account  //You will need to confirm your registration at our Mattermost hosted TAD Community chat.//  If you had already registered and [[forgot password|forgot the password here is the info on how to recover it]] 
  
-The second step is to download the installer. Our email will give you an **install code**. That code will be used by the installer during the installation. This is to be used ONLY with the installer and it will work ONLY with your email address you had used when you filled our form +----- 
- +[[oldregistrationmethod|Old registration information is available here]]
-Once you have registered at the chat system, you need to use the the login credentials of the chat system in order to use TAD.   The first time TAD starts it will ask you to provide the credentials. Give the //email address// and the //password// you had confirmed at the TAD chat system. +
- +
-This page on [[authentication]] explains more on what you need to do if you get confused +
- +
-//Note: The TAD chat system uses the open-source MATTERMOST chat system. So on the first page of TAD chat, you would see their message.  We may implement other ways to register and may phase out the MATTERMOST system. Currently, the main one is using the Mattermost system.//+
