Installation Instructions
If you already have a version of Stata 16 or 17 you can update your program with only the license file.
To install Stata 18, double click the Stata installer file and follow the on-screen instructions. At the "Select Executables" screen select Stata/BE.
Once the installation is complete, before launching Stata, download and copy the Stata.LIC License File to C:\Program Files\Stata18 on Windows (Stata17 if you are using the previous version) or /Applications/Stata on macOS. If prompted, replace the existing file.
