Click Print to print the agreement text. - Click Yes if you agree with the terms. (If you click No, the installer will automatically close.)
- Accept the default installation location (or navigate to the desired location) then select what type of license you wish to use:
- Community License: Choose this to use the software with the free FICO Xpress Community License for academic and commercial use. The capacity limitations previously listed in Community License apply. The software will install for the local machine only.
- Static Licensing: Choose this to use the software with a paid or evaluation license. The software will install for the local machine only. Click Next. See Installing a Static License to continue the installation.
Note that if you select the Static licensing option and plan on using a dongle to license Xpress, you will be able to move the dongle between machines, but only one machine at a time can access the software. - Floating Licensing: Choose this to use the software with a paid license. The software will install for the current network. Click Next. See Installing a Floating License to continue the installation.
