Having trouble installing?
The Flexera downloader doesn't always work. If you are unable to download multiple files using the Flexera downloader, download one package at a time.
Uninstall McAfee. We had one instance of a student running Windows 10 where McAfee blocked the authorization popup. The software would install, but could not be used.
