Proceed to section 2.2 to continue with the rest of the installation process.
Important Note:
If you have a Network License, the License Manager Server must be in place before the client installations so that
the machines are able to run Xeus Pro 5 in a floating licensing environment. Please refer to section 4 for

If you have a Standalone License, please proceed to the next page to proceed with the installation steps.
