If you are installing Apama Server, the installer asks for a license file. If you provide one, the installer will copy it into the Apama work directory. If you do not provide one, the Apama correlator will run with reduced capabilities. See the Apama documentation for information on running without a license.

If you are installing the Apama Server or Dashboard Viewer, the installer asks for the path to the work directory in which Apama will store its user-created content, such as log files. Specify an empty directory or a directory that does not yet exist. If you specify a directory that does not yet exist, the installer will create it and populate it with standard files and directories. You can include non-English characters in the work directory location, but they must be within the set of characters from the operating system's default character encoding.
