Hi PPaul,

 

Please note, ProVision v6.1.x is unsupported to run on Windows 7.  I would advise upgrading to v 6.2.4 if you would like to run ProVision on Windows 7.

 

There is a workaround though.  You can change the installer to run in compatibility mode (Right click the installer -> Properties -> Change the compatibility mode to something like WindowsXP).  To run PV in this compatibility mode you will need to connect to a Floating License Server as a Remote Desktop Protocol session gets invoked (basically Win7 creates a virtualized WinXP session to run the installer and subsequently run ProVision).  Node locked licensing does not work if RDP gets invoked.

 

Regards,

Matt Michael
