2. Installation
The installation is very easy. It’s a common installer like all others instlallers you can found, with the basic operations : License, folder, shortcuts, start menu and finish. Nothing special about that.
Once installation is complete, we must enter the license and choose the modules to activate like it was already the case in the previous versions. précédentes versions.
