When the License File panel appears, type the fully qualified name of the license file in the License File text box, or click the button to locate it. The same license file should be used for Entire Net-Work 7 Clients as are used for Entire Net-Work Kernels.

The Directory Server Detection panel may appear. If a Directory Server is already installed on this machine, the installation assumes that the local Directory Server will be used and the Directory Server Detection panel does not appear. If the Directory Server Detection panel appears, select one of the options on it to indicate whether or not you want to use the named Directory Server or whether you want to install one on this machine. For complete information on the port used by the Directory Server, read The Directory Server Port Number.
Software AG installs a Common Java Package (CJP) as part of the underlying infrastructure of its components. During the Entire Net-Work installation, the following message may appear as a result of this CJP installation:
You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to Software AG Common Java Package to take effect. Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to restart later.
To address this situation, complete the following steps:
Select "Yes" when prompted to restart your system.
Close any open installation dialogs and reboot the machine.
Restart the Entire Net-Work installation, using the exact same settings as you used in your earlier installation attempt.
The installation should complete without problems.
If the installation is not successful, you will receive one of several possible error messages. Contact your local distributor for information about customer support services. If the installation fails, it is likely that some parts of the product will have been installed. Therefore, before you attempt to install Entire Net-Work again, run the installation program to remove it. See Uninstalling Entire Net-Work Client for instructions on removing the product.
