# Install Lasernet Developer Locally

For hosted customers, the Lasernet Server is managed by the Lasernet Group; however, it is still necessary to install a copy of Lasernet Developer to enable interaction with the Lasernet Configuration.

## Install the Lasernet Developer Application

To install the Lasernet Developer application, follow these steps:

1. From the Lasernet Package zip folder, which was downloaded as part of the [prerequisites](/v1/docs/prerequisites-for-everyone) earlier, double-click the **Lasernet Developer** file.

1. Click **Next**, accept the typical installation, and follow the steps until the Developer is installed.

## License Code

Users will now need to activate their Lasernet Developer license. Follow these steps:

1. On the machine where you have installed Lasernet Developer, navigate to the **Start** menu, search for “Lasernet Developer License Manager”, and open it.

1. Select the instance of type **Lasernet Developer**, click **Activate**, and copy the Lasernet Developer license key into the window that is shown. This will be the key that begins with “DEV”.

Note

A demo license has been used in the screenshot above. Your instance will not say “DEMO”.

For more details on how to use the License Manager, watch our [Formbytes Video Tutorials](/v1/docs/lasernet-license-manager).

## Install Default Configuration
