About Installation
When the DSView management software is installed, the DSView software database and a hub
server are also installed on the dedicated server.
Rebooting the dedicated server is not required prior to using the DSView software.
Once the DSView software is installed and you have configured the hub server, users may log in
at another computer as a DSView software client, using a supported web browser.
You may also install the DSView software on additional computers and configure them as spoke
servers. See Spoke Servers on page 79 and Installing the DSR Remote Operations Software on
page 24.
NOTE: A license key permits the operation of the DSView 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.
Minimum requirements for the DSView software
Please refer to the latest release notes for operating system and browser requirements.
