Installing Liberty
The supported operating systems for Liberty, as of the 5 release, are as follows: Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 10, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server, Windows 2012 Server, and Windows 2016 Server. In order to install Liberty, you must be logged in to Windows as an Administrator.
To Check If You Are Logged On As Administrator
1.Open the Windows Control Panel.
2.Open User Accounts in the control panel.
3.On the right side of the screen, the username for the user currently logged into Windows is displayed. The type of account is displayed underneath the account name (Administrator or Standard User). If the current user account is not an Administrator, you will need to log off of Windows and log on with a different account that has Administrative rights.
To Install Liberty from DVD
1.Make sure you are logged into Windows as an Administrator.
2.Close all programs currently running on your computer.
3.Insert the Liberty DVD into the DVD Drive.
4.If the Installation program does not start automatically, you will need to browse the DVD and double-click the installation program.
5.If this is a fresh installation, rather than an update of an earlier version of Liberty, you will be prompted to select whether this computer is to be set up as your Main, or as an Additional Workstation.
