Once extracted, the user opens the virtualization software and "imports" or "opens" the virtual machine file. A common prompt during first-time startup asks if the machine was "moved" or "copied"; selecting "I copied it" ensures the software generates new unique identifiers, preventing licensing conflicts. Within the VM, the WIS is usually accessed through an "EWA Net" login screen, where standard default credentials (often admin / 12345 ) grant access to the full database.

If a software update fails or a key generator/activation expires, you can instantly roll back the VM to a previously saved, working state. Hardware and Software Requirements

The license may have expired or been accidentally invalidated. Open the EWA Admin Tool → StartKey tab. If the user count is –1 , click "Remove", then generate a fresh StartKey using the keygen. Ensure the LAN‑ID in the keygen exactly matches the one displayed in the Admin Tool. Also check that four green lights are showing in the Summary tab; if any are red, the database servers are not running correctly and must be restarted via Windows Services.
