About Installation
When the DSView 3 management software is installed, the DSView 3 software database and a hub
server are also installed on the dedicated server.
The DSView 3 software may be installed on a computer containing an existing DSView 2.x
software authentication server without causing any interference with the operation of the DSView
2.x software system. The DSView 2.x software authentication server and the DSView 3 software
may run on the same dedicated server at the same time.
Rebooting the dedicated server is not required prior to using the DSView 3 software.
Once the DSView 3 software is installed and you have configured the hub server, users may log in
at another computer as a DSView 3 software client, using a supported web browser.
You may also install the DSView 3 software on additional computers and configure them as spoke
servers. See Spoke Servers on page 67 and Installing the DSR Remote Operations Software on
page 19.
NOTE: A license key permits the operation of the DSView 3 software on the dedicated server. The license key
also specifies the number of clients that may use the software and the number of spoke servers allowed on a
system. See Licenses on page 50.
