Run the Windows installer and TapeSim sets itself up (Start Menu shortcut) and keeps itself up to date automatically — no .NET runtime needed. Prefer no install? Grab the portable zip and run the app directly. On Linux, unzip and run. A macOS build is planned for a later release.

Running the installer on Windows: the beta isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway to install TapeSim. (Code signing comes with the full release.)

Activating your license

TapeSim is free to open in viewer mode — you can browse the chart, Level-2 book, time & sales, and DOM ladder for any market day. Sim trading is unlocked with a license.

  1. If you haven't bought one yet, get a license. Your key arrives by email.
  2. Launch TapeSim. On the gate screen, paste your license key and click Activate.
  3. That's it — open a market day and your sim trading is unlocked.

New to TapeSim? The documentation walks through downloading a market day, the trading screen, and the DOM ladder.

Changed machines? Each license activates on up to 3 machines. If you've upgraded or replaced a PC and run out of activations, email support@tapesim.app and we'll extend it or free up the old machine.
Beta note: TapeSim is in beta on Lemon Squeezy test mode, so no real money changes hands while we shake out the purchase flow. At checkout, pay with the Stripe test card 4242 4242 4242 4242, any future expiry date, any CVC, and any postal code. (A real card will be declined in test mode.)
