How to Install
Waves Smart ERP

Follow this simple guide to get your business running. Our smart installer handles all the complex database configuration for you.

Step 01

Download the Setup File

Click the download button above. You will receive a file named 'WavesERP_Setup.exe' (approx 150MB).

Step 02

Run as Administrator

Right-click the downloaded file and select 'Run as Administrator'. This ensures the installer has permission to configure the database.

Note: Windows SmartScreen might ask for permission. Click 'More Info' > 'Run Anyway'.
Step 03

Select Installation Type

Choose 'Express Install' (Recommended) for a typical single-PC setup. This automatically installs SQL LocalDB and prerequisites.

Step 04

Activate Your License

Once installed, open Waves ERP. Enter the 16-digit Trial Key or License Key sent to your email to unlock the software.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Error: .NET Framework Missing

The installer usually fixes this. If not, please download and install .NET Framework 4.8 manually from the Microsoft website.

Database Connection Failed

Ensure the 'SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)' service is running in Windows Services. Check your firewall allows port 1433.

Antivirus Blocking Installation

Some antivirus software may flag new installers. Please add 'WavesERP_Setup.exe' to your antivirus exclusion list.

Printer Not Detected

Install the drivers for your thermal printer first. Verify that you can print a 'Test Page' from Windows Control Panel.
