Setting up WMS is generally done through the installation wizard. The wizard guides the user through setting up the application on each system. Once WMS is installed, default settings can be adjusted and saved.

Installing

Before beginning the installation process, make sure the computer meets the WMS System Requirements.

The installation wizard guides the user through the installation process. It gives options to install different parts of the WMS program, including executable files, tutorial files, documentation files, and so on. If an expected part seems to be missing, re-run the installer and verify that all desired parts are included in the installation.

Registering WMS

Once WMS has been installed, the user can then register WMS using a hardware lock or password.

Running WMS for the First Time

When running WMS the first time (and until WMS is registered), the registration wizard is the first dialog seen. If the user has a license and is using a hardware lock, or if a security string is needed to obtain a password, click the Enable button and follow the instructions.

Defaults File (ini)

When starting WMS, default values are set for directories, display options, etc. Modify these settings and save the new defaults in an INI file by selecting File | Save Current Settings. After restarting WMS, these settings will be used.

Each project file stores its own default settings in an INI file so that the project data will appear as they were at the time they were saved.

Command Line Arguments

WMS has several command line arguments that can be used to customize how WMS starts up.
