Select an SSL certificate to host NVivo Collaboration Server Manager using a secure connection (HTTPS). The installer detects certificates in the LOCALMACHINE > MY certificate store location. You may need to navigate away from the installer to configure a certificate at this point.
NOTE: If you don't select a certificate, NVivo Collaboration Server Manager is hosted on an insecure connection (HTTP). If you want to select a certificate later, you can run the upgrade.bat file to be able to select a certificate.

Manually add server roles and services (if required)
The NVivo Collaboration Server installer attempts to add roles and services automatically. If this process fails or if you don't have an internet connection, you may need to add roles and services using your Windows Server installation DVD.
