Why is it so difficult to install PDM on a single laptop?

Look at the title? Just bought Premium and installed SW in minutes. no problems. Then to get PDM installed i get sent a 200 page manual!

And that pays absolute lip service to installing it on a single laptop. I am a single person company so have no need for servers etc and want to take the product with me without need to connect to a LAN/WAN whatever.

Trudge through installing X, Y, Z etc and eventually get to create a vault and despite using every known connotation of the login used for the Server Management Console to connect with to Create New Vault it either bombs out with invalid username/password or just cannot connect.

Now the VAR says they can quote to help me install it!  Just paid out enough to buy a decent 2nd hand car on a licence and support and now expected to pay extra to get software I've paid for to be installed by them!  Probably easier to learn FEA than install this
