Hello mate dont forget to first INSTALL the "Prereq", even if it says "Prereq" are not required install it anyway. Then after the installation of the setup, copy the Magnitude folder from the setup files and generate the license file using the generator inside the Magnitude folder. After the text file is created in that folder, copy that text file to your desktop and then install License Manager and give the path to text file and that's it. Please make sure that your PC should be totally free my viruses because sometimes it give problems in connecting to the license
