Note.pngFor a successful install, you must enter a valid access key. Contact your Customer Service representative to obtain an access key (for example, 06-2199745954-USR/UNC). The access key is a temporary software license and grants access for 45 days. An access key should be used for installation within 17 days of issue.

If you do not have access keys, you may still install the software, but you will not be able to use it without access keys or a license file.

15.  Follow the prompts to complete the installation.

When you complete the installation, the Spectrum Platform starts automatically and a Spectrum Platform icon appears in your Windows system tray, like the following.
