  4. In the Package Manager, you can Install or Uninstall packages as well as view the packages you currently have installed. In addition, you can check for updates to packages you have installed and view licensing information for them. Some packages require a purchased license in order to use them and will not operate without one.To install a license, click Install. Navigate to the package you would like to install and click Open. You will then need to follow a series of installation screens that may vary from package to package. You should consult the author of your package if you have questions about the package's EULA or features.
