 💡 Golden Nuggets: Best Practices for Windows Installation

  2. Administrator privileges: Make sure you have administrator privileges on your computer, as they are necessary for installing the software. 

  3. Close unnecessary applications: Close any unnecessary applications running on your computer during the installation process to ensure smooth and efficient installation. 

  4. Follow the installation instructions: Carefully follow the installation instructions provided in the documentation to avoid mistakes and potential issues during the installation process. 

  5. Verify installation: After the installation is complete, check the successful installation of the software by opening it and ensuring there are no error messages.

 🔧 Got trouble? Let’s fix! 

  1. Missing prerequisites: If the installer prompts you to install any missing prerequisites, do so before proceeding with the installation.

    1. Remedial Step: Install the missing prerequisites and restart the installation process. 

  2. Insufficient system resources: If your system does not meet the hardware requirements, such as a 2.0 GHz or faster processor, 16 GB or higher RAM, and 4 GB or more disk space, the installation may fail. 

    1. Remedial Step: Upgrade your system hardware to meet the requirements and retry installation. 

  3. Administrative privileges: The installer requires administrator privileges to install the software. If you do not have these privileges, the installation will not proceed. 

    1. Remedial Step: Ensure you have administrator privileges before attempting to install the software. 

  4. If any of the QAS - Client is shown a License Not Reachable error, check whether the Qualitia service is running and is active. The other reason could be limited users in the license server. That is, you have purchased 20 client seats and all the 20 are currently active resulting in this error message.
