# Welcome

Welcome to the Solution License Manager (SLM) installation wizard.

The wizard will guide you through the installation and configuration process of the SLM software.

This online documentation provides brief information to complete the SLM Installation Wizard. More documentation is available on the SLM medium, in the documentation directory.

It is recommended to read the Infor Solution License Manager Installation and Configuration Guide before you run this Installation Wizard. This guide provides more information about prerequisites, how to stop the SLM Server and how to upgrade SLM.

It is not required to uninstall SLM before you upgrade. However, ensure to stop the SLM server and all programs that use SLM. Consider to close Microsoft Internet Explorer as one of programs possibly using SLM through the SLM Java interface.

Another program that can lock SLM files (and thus prevent an upgrade process) is the Microsoft Management Console when opened to view events.

You can stop the SLM Installation Wizard at any point before the Ready to Install dialog box. Click Cancel in that case, no software is installed.
