title: Trouble installing Siemens TIA software
body: <p>I've have installed the Siemens TIA software from <a href="https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/document/109753089/where-do-you-procure-the-current-trial-software-for-step-7-wincc-and-startdrive-for-tia-portal-v15-and-v15-1-?dti=0&amp;lc=en-WW" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Siemens' Homepage</a></p>
  
  <p>The version is: SIMATIC STEP 7 and WinCC V15.1 / S7-PLCSIM V15.1 TRIAL.</p>
  
  <p>The error I get is:</p>
  
  <pre><b>An Error occurred during setup.</b>  
  Some installed products need licenses. Please start the Automation License  
  Manager to install licenses and for an overview about licenses on this computer.</pre>

  <p>I tried running as administrator and changing the folder for the extracted files. I have full licenses to the TIA software.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the setup report:</p>
