Step 1 - Import Location Certificates

Ensure you have the PKI Certificate Manager installed on your computer.

1.      Select Start > Settings > Control Panel. If the PKI Certificate Manager is installed, the PKI Certificate Manager icon is displayed in your control panel settings. If the PKI Certificate Manager is not installed, stop now, install the software and then continue with Step 2.

2.      To import the certificates follow the instructions given in the PKI Certificate Manager Utility. Ensure the new store is created in C:\Program Files\Common Files\PKI\

The PIC for the location certificate will have been provided to your practice by HeSA over the telephone after you faxed to them confirmation of receipt of your floppy disk containing the location certificate, (there is a four hour window between faxing and retrieving the PIC).

Please ensure that you retain the original pass phrase (HeSA-issued PIC) in a safe place in case of a system failure and/or a need to reinstall the certificate at a later date.

Pracsoft will allow you to change the original pass phrase upon install, however this only changes it for the PSI Store within your PC – not on the floppy disk itself.
