Running New Application Software

Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related
to the software. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other
software runs correctly. If you have problems while running new application
software, check the following.
T

software? Refer to the software documentation.
T
Is the software an authorized copy? Unauthorized copies often do not
work. Obtain an authorized copy of the software.

correctly installed? Were all necessary procedures followed and files
installed?
