CaseTalk may be installed using a regular setup installation into you ''program files'' or unzipped into a so-called ''local folder''. CaseTalk will then at startup search for a valid license key file.

The following steps are followed to find the license key for your installation.
# Check your roaming profile folder ''\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\CaseTalk<N>\casetalk.key''.
# If the application is started in portable mode it'll search the applications subfolder ''{appdata}'' for the key file.
# If still not found, it attempts to use a key file directly from the same folder where ''casetalk.exe'' itself resides.
# If that file does not exist either, it'll check the ''Windows registry'' for a potential old license information.

If all of the above fails, or the found key is invalid, a new license should be requested from the website. The new license can be stored in two locations:
* Your ''roaming profile'' folder
* An application subfolder called ''{appdata}'' for portable app usage.
