Hmm? What step to take? Depends on what you want to do.
Please explain.

My question is simple, I said that I had difficulties to use the emulator, so if you understand the question you don't answer this simple one

I said I wanted to simulate my programme with the freelance emulator, so the keyword is already specified, I can't write a text for it, you said I'm not a journalist

Ok, fast forward:
First you have to install the controller emulator. This can be done by using the freelance installation program.
After this you have to start controller emulator instance. This can be done by typing http://127.0.0.1:8888/ in your browser, then enter a resource id and hit start.
Now you have to create a process station in Control Builder F. Create a controller emulator here too. Use the IP of the PC (or 127.0.0.1) and the resource id used above. Assign the emulator to the process station.
Plausible the project, go into online mode, load whole station.
Thats it.

Feel free to ask if you struggle on a specific point. But do not just say "Does not work". To help you i need at least some useful information.
I am not a journalist too. But as i said. A am also not a mind reader. You have to write.

The freelance version I use is a 2019 demo version, I installed the setup so I don't know if it also installs the emulator or not?otherwise I just tried the procedure you described but I still can't simulate.

What do you get on http://127.0.0.1:8888/ ?

If you get an "Connection Failed", the emulator is not installed. In this case you can just run the setup again. Chose custom installation, and make sure the emulator is selected.

If you get the emulator website, have you managed to start a controller?

My Controller Emulator only works when Network is connectec.
Siply to a switch or hub.
I use not local IP, i use ip of my PC for example 172.16.1.20.
In Internet explorer start the emulator admin page by http://172.16.1.20:8888 (local Ip adress).

We use up to 5 emulators on one PC to simulate the plant for SFC testing.

Freelance 2013 emulator do not work on Windows10.
We use a Win10 PC to run FreelanceOperations2013 for our simulation System.

goog luck
