Once you have entered these in the text entry boxes, select the Create account button to register with the server.
By default, all four optional boxes under the Account Options section are checked:
- Remember my password retains your password for day-to-day invocations.
- Automatically log me in when invoking the application
- It's OK to occasionally email me opts-in to receiving infrequent email notifications and/or supplemental information.
Once you have selected the Create account button, the following form will be displayed.
