Loaded from local HDD applet would work with KEY parameter value="Trial Version" keeping 100% functionality of full version, so you can completly test your design locally. Applet also will work on-line but will add blinking "Trial Copy" text.

For final on-line placement, you need to register it and obtain valid  KEY for your page, Note that KEY is applet name and URL sensitive, so follow registrations instructions exactly.

Some optional parameters are shown in Gray if you do not need to link any document to this clock, delete the parameters shown in gray color. If you want the document to be opened on click, place the URL and define target which is actually the same as HTML <A.. > tag target attribute. If you are not sure what you should place there, use "_self", this will open linked document in current frame.

What Else you need? Copy files listed as required to the same directory with your HTML file. For on-line placement, upload this files to the server in the same directory.
