11. Ensure the products you selected have been installed in the installation directory and now you can use the Start menu to start the servers installed.

You might get an error message in the end of the installation (During installation there was 1 reported or warning), which can be found in the logs “The system cannot find the file C:\SoftwareAG\wm1015_3\MWS\server\default\bin\instance.properties”. This will have no impact on running the Free Trial and you can just ignore it. In case there are other errors that don’t allow services to work as expected please post your issue in the Tech Community Forum.
