## Application Startup

### Startup Procedure

On first launch, **ECDIS** will display the text of the license agreement.

**To start using ECDIS**, accept the terms of the agreement by pressing **"Accept"**.

```{important}
**NSR ECDIS NES-3000 is supplied as pre-installed software** on a specialized computer.

**NSR ECDIS NES-3000 does not have** an operating system desktop.
```

### Loading Process

**Continue** — loading the NSR ECDIS NES-3000 software: during loading, a **license check** is performed and a splash screen is displayed.
