You did it!

When you launch Provar the first time, you will also need to Select a Workspace and Activate Your License.
Selecting a Workspace
Upon launching Provar Automation for the first time you’ll be prompted to select your preferred location and name for your Workspace.
NOTE:
The default location (C:\Users\<username>\Provar) is where Provar stores your license and other information. This is not the same as the installation location.
Your workspace will be the home of your Test Project. It is not necessary to keep your workspace in this same location, but it is considered best practice to select a workspace location away from your chosen installation location.
Rename “Workspace1” as needed.
It is recommended to leave the checkbox “Use this as the default, and do not ask again” unticked. This will allow you to switch your workspace to have multiple Test Projects.
Click Launch once you have named your workspace and selected its location.
