   `VersionNumber` | is the product version.
   `Platform` | is your software platform.

   The Setup dialog box opens.

2. Click Next.

   The License Agreement dialog box opens.

3. Read the license agreement. Select I accept the agreement, and then click Next.

Specify the ports that you want License Server to listen on, and then type the path or click and navigate to the location of your HPE license key file (`licensekey.dat`), which you obtained when you purchased HPE Media Server. Click Next.

   The Component Selection dialog box opens.

6. Click Next.
