8. Review your installation settings. Press Install. FCS Express will now be installed on your computer. This may take a few minutes.

Notes about Permissions for Standalone License

Depending on your operating system, and computer configuration, you may require administrative access in order to install FCS Express. It is important that if you are installing as an Administrator, but are going to be using FCS Express as a non-administrator, you should run FCS Express the first time as the non-administrator. Running FCS Express the first time as an Administrator will create certain files that the non-administrator will need to modify, but Windows will not all the non-administrator to do so because the Administrator owns the file.

In short, run the installation program as the administrator if required, but do not run it as the administrator unless you will always be running as administrator.
