If you are running this install on the physical server

and can install an Analyst station on the server, click
Finish and follow the onscreen instructions. More
details about Analyst workstation install are
available below (see Analyst Workstation #1

installing an Analyst station on the server, deselect
this option and click Finish. Install an Analyst
station on Analyst machine #1, as per the

one Analyst station before licensing.

server granting full read/write/delete permissions to this folder and all the subfolders.

Compsens folder on the server from each station using the same path and same drive letter.

company policy does not allow you to install an Analyst station on the server, please follow the steps below to
install the software on a remote Analyst machine.

server.
The path to this file is usually something like this: drive_letter (to the Compsens folder):\C5R56.
2. From your Analyst station, browse to the workstation_setup.exe file and run it to start up the
installation Wizard.
3. On the third screen, select Analyst Workstation option.
