4. Select Client Components

Here you can choose what components are installed. In the Modeling Client section you can choose between QPR ProcessDesigner and QPR EnterpriseArchitect (which cannot be installed simultaneously) or omit both. Additionally, you can select to install QPR Metrics Client. QPR User Management Client, and QPR Add-In for Microsoft Office. Installing the QPR Add-In for Microsoft Office via the clients package is supported for 32-bit versions of Microsoft Word 2007, Microsoft Word 2010, and Microsoft Word 2013. If multiple Microsoft Office versions are found on the computer, a radio button selection is displayed for selecting the target version. For installing QPR Add-In for Microsoft Office for a 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010 or Microsoft Office 2013, you need to use the QPRAfMOSetup_x64.exe installation package.

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. Note that the "Activate the software now" option is not available if client components that require activation were not selected to be installed. Similarly, checking the "Show the readme file" checkbox opens the readme file after you click Finish. In addition, if the QPR Suite 2014.1 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 there are both 64-bit and 32-bit Servers installation packages available and you are running a 64-bit edition of Microsoft Windows, you can choose whether to install the 64-bit servers or the 32-bit servers. Note that depending on your product activation code, you may not be able to activate either one of them, so choose accordingly. 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. In installations with also server components included, activation should be done only after all the components are installed, so you cannot select both "Activate the product now" and "Install QPR Server Components" options simultaneously.

After receiving the activation message, go to the page following the instructions and input the message to the field reserved for it. Click Next to continue.
