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 80 and Installing the DSR Remote Operations Software
on page 24.
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 60.
