Displaying a License Agreement

To comply with legal requirements, most software products include a license agreement. Typically, the license agreement is displayed prior to or in the early stages of the installation process. Tarma Installer's Setup wizard will do this for your application on the License Agreement page if desired, and will only continue with the installation process if the customer indicates that he accepts the terms and conditions of the license agreement.

Note - If you want the license agreement text to be available after installation, you should also provide it as a separate document, which you install along with the rest of your application. In that case, it might be a good idea to install a shortcut to that document. See Installing Files and Installing Shortcuts for more information on these topics.

Text variants

The Installation - License agreement page allows you to enter more than one text variant. The primary purpose of these text variants is for multilingual support, where they allow you to provide localized texts to match the installation languages.

To match a text variant with a language, enter the desired text on the License Agreement page (if necessary, by creating a new text tab first with the New command). Assign it an identifier that you can easily memorize in the Text identifier field, then switch to the Installation - Languages page. On this page, use the Associated License Agreement field to link the text variant to the language(s) of your choice.
