What Is A Ckserve?

I have tried unsuccessfully to install a software called stylewriter. Each time I received this message: There was a problem sending licensing information over your network
Cause: The program "ckserve" is not running on your computer.
Suggestion: In order to run this program over a network, ckserve must be running on the network server. Talk to your network administrator.
If you are running Windows NT ckserve must be running on the server or your computer even if you do not wish to share licenses over a network. Reinstalling this program should install the ckserve.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled this program several times. I still get the same message. I am not on a network either. Could someone please help me with this problem. A search over the Internet have not given me much clue in solving this problem.
