2. Add Runtime location and the Runtime license (flexrule.license.lic) path
- If you don’t have a Runtime in your machine, you can download the Runtime, by clicking on the button Download FlexRule Runtime NuGet.
- The Runtime license can be downloaded from your profile.
3. Add the package file to run ( eg: Supplier_Assessment.frdp).
