Step 3 - You will likely be prompted to enter a username and password to get connected. Select the registered user option. Fill in ad\username (putting in your own UNH username, like ad\jbd2519), and your and password.
Step 4 - When the file share window opens, you should see a folder named Stata 16, browse through the appropriate folder for your operating system and then find the Stata application, copy the application icon to your desktop, then launch it by double-clicking it.
