Installing the ZENworks Server 55
License key for
Patch
Management
The ZENworks 11 Patch Management software is automatically installed. However,
the product is activated for patch downloads only if the following conditions are met:
A patch subscription license key is specified, which you must purchase
independently. For more information, see “Activating Patch Management” in the
ZENworks 11 SP2 Administration Quick Start.
You can activate the subscription service later through the ZENworks Control Center.
For more information, see .
If you specify the license key, you must additionally specify the company name and
the e-mail address.
If you do not want to install ZENworks 11 Patch Management, manually deselect the
Activate check box and do not specify the license key for the product. The product is
automatically installed; however, it is deactivated.

Installation
complete (roll
back option)
If installation errors occurred, this page is displayed at this time; otherwise, it is
displayed after the Post-Installation Actions page.
Installation Recovery: For both the GUI and command line installations, if there are
serious installation errors you can roll back the installation to return your server to its
previous state. This option is provided on a different installation page. Otherwise, you
have two options:
If a previous installation was cut short and you install again, you might be given
the option to reset the installation, depending on how far you got in the canceled
installation. If you select to reset, this overwrites any configuration that might
have occurred during the canceled installation.
To undo a successfully completed installation, follow the instructions in
Chapter 6, “Uninstalling ZENworks Software,” on page 67.
If there were serious installation errors, select Roll Back, which returns your server to
its previous state. Upon exiting the installation program, the server is not rebooted.
However, to complete the installation, you must reboot the server.
To determine whether to continue the installation or roll it back, review the log file that
lists the errors to determine if any installation failures were significant enough for your
action. If you select to continue, resolve the issues that are noted in the log after you
have rebooted the server and completed the installation process.
To access the log file in the GUI installation, click View Log. In the command line
installation, the path to the log file is displayed.
