The install for Quick Fields is just going to be like normal.  Except when you get to the point in the installation where it asks for a license file you can chose the "Use RIO License Manager" option.  You will have to give the Directory server name and then enter credentials to get there.

Or, you can generate the license before the install.  Go to the Directory server and click Applications.  Then click Add Application and go down to Quick Fields.  Add the Quick Fields instance and it will ask you for the computer name of the machine you wish to install it on.  It can then lookup the hardware information.  If the directory server cannot find that machine you will have to run the showhwfp.exe utility on the machine you wish to install Quick Fields on.  Use that information to manually populate the license info.  Then generate the license file and move it to the Quick Fields machine.  During the install instead of choosing "Use RIO License Manager" just select the license file and browse to the path.

To clarify, when you install Quick Fields 9, it doesn't ask you for a license at that point. After the application installs and you launch it, you'll see the start page indicating that the product needs to be activated. When you click the "Activate Now" button, you'll have to use the option to provide a license file to use since you're not going to be registering Quick Fields using an activation key.

Make sure that you have generated the Quick Fields license for the computer you installed Quick Fields on (from the License Manager or Laserfiche Directory Server, whichever is being used). Then copy that license file to the Quick Fields machine (Windows Desktop is fine) and then that's the license file to browse to when you are providing it to Quick Fields for activation.

awesome! thanks guys, this should get me where I need to be!
