# Getting Started

Accessing ToolsNet 8 is only possible after a complete server installation.

1. Start your web browser.

3. Press Enter.

   The User selection menu opens.

When active license spindles exceed the maximum allowed for Tightening, the system sends a daily notification that a 14-day grace period has started. During the grace period, ask the system administrator to restart the DataCommunication and License services to refresh spindle counts. The grace period resets automatically when the license spindle count is updated.
