Invantive Runtime opens the log on window at start-up, once a licence has been registered as described in [[Invantive UniversalSQL/General/License Registration|License Registration]]. The window is the same in the other Invantive products for Microsoft Windows. ![[20260809-runtime-log-on.png]] Logging on runs as follows: - Choose the database under "Database". The databases are grouped, and the number behind a group name is the number of databases in that group. The chosen database is repeated on the header of the list and its description appears under the list. - Fill out the properties of each data container of the chosen database. Which properties appear depends on the platform of that data container: an XML audit file asks for "XML Directories" and "XML File Extension", whereas a cloud platform asks for the location of the server and for credentials. Properties which are needed rarely sit under "Advanced". - Tick "Automatically Connect" to let a next start log on to this database without the window appearing. - Choose "Connect". The databases come from the [[Settings]] file in the configuration folder, which is shared with the other Invantive products on the device. The star in front of a database adds it to the favourites; see [[Favorite Databases]]. The spanner at the bottom left opens the diagnostics window, which reports what the device, the licence and the installation say; see [[Invantive UniversalSQL/General/Diagnostics|Diagnostics]]. It is reachable before logging on, since logging on is what often fails.
