There is a bug in the licensing mechanism for your software.  The “bug” prevents the software from finding the license file that it creates during setup.

 

To fix your problem, perform the following steps after you already have the software installed the version 5.5 version according to the following web page:

 

1. Open a Windows 11 PowerShell terminal by “right clicking” on the Windows 11 start menu button, and then choosing the “Terminal” option on the menu.

Example:

 

 

2. Once the PowerShell terminal Window is open, type the following into the terminal pressing ENTER after each line:

 

$ENV:LM_LICENSE_FILE = 'C:\sw55\Licenses\license.lic'

 

C:\sw55\sciword.exe -iC:\sw55\sciword.ins

 

Example:

 

 

3. Your software should now be started and not be in the “view only” mode.
