The demo runs independently from the full edition. It uses its own database, settings, reports folder, and bundled public demonstration data. You can explore it without changing the installed full-edition database.
- Extract the ZIP. Right-click the Demo Preview ZIP, select Extract All, and choose a convenient folder.
- Start the demo. Open the extracted folder and double-click
FederalJudicialTrackerDemo.exe. - Approve Windows security if needed. Because Preview 1 is unsigned, select More info and Run anyway only when the file came from the verified release package.
