This is telling you that the installer is about to key your license server to the host you are running the installer on.

If you decide to make this machine your license server or you are installing a node-locked license, the installer will then contact Pixar and retrieve your license file. It will place this license file by default in:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\Pixar\pixar.license
• macOS:  /Applications/Pixar/pixar.license
• Linux: /opt/pixar/pixar.license

Next you will see a list of packages you wish to install.

The installer will try to find the appropriate plugins to install as well. However if it cannot find a Maya installation or determines you have already installed the latest version of the software, you will give you a warning that something strange is afoot.

Here you can now decide which software and packages you wish to install. For instance if you do not wish to install the Katana plugins, you can deselect those. If you WOULD like to instal the license server for a floating license installation, you may select the "Show All" button and select the license server package as well. Installing The License Server talks in detail about the steps that must be taken on each platform once the installation finishes to ensure that the floating license server is functioning correctly.

Once the desired packages are selected, hitting the Next button goes to the download and installation phase.

Once this phase is complete a Success! screen should appear. At this point you can exit the installer.
