13.Once the installation finishes, you will arrive at the Completed screen. If a License Server has been assigned, and your License has already been activated, then you are ready to continue to the LAW Configuration Utility, so go ahead and leave the option on your screen checked to do so automatically once the Setup Wizard closes. Otherwise, you will need to activate your License on a License Server before you can correctly configure LAW, so you should uncheck this option before continuing. Click Finish to exit the Setup Wizard.

InstallerSuccessful

15.You have now finished installing LAW! There are some additional steps we recommend you take at this time to ensure a fully functioning LAW experience:

1)Activate your LAW Licenses through the License Manager utility if you haven't already done so. Instructions for doing so can be found in the License Server topic.

2)Configure your Environment and/or Local Machine through the LAW Configuration Utility. Instructions can be found in the LAW Configuration Utility topic.

3)Have your system administrator grant all users who will be running LAW full read/write/modify permissions to the root directory (install location) for LAW. This ensures that their program settings/options are saved properly.

4)Have your system administrator adjust the Properties of Law50.exe within the root directory (install location) of LAW to enable the Run this program as an administrator option under the Compatibility tab. This will prevent several known Windows related usability issues from occurring.
