8. Complete

The installation is now complete. Check the "Activate the software now" if you wish to launch the QPR Product Activation Wizard after clicking Finish. Similarly, checking the "Show the readme file" checkbox opens the readme file after you click Finish. In addition, if the QPR Suite 2012.1 Servers installation package is present in the same folder as the Clients package, there is the "Install QPR Server Components" option. Selecting that option will launch the Server installer (instructions in the next chapter) when the Finish button is clicked. If you have multiple options selected, the corresponding operations are performed one at a time, i.e. the readme file is displayed after finishing the activation. If you are going to install also the Servers package, do not select the "Activate the product now" option until the servers are installed, too.
