3.4 Third-party applications
Installing third-party applications
Switch interacts with a number of frequently-used third-party applications through built-in
configurators.
For a Switch configurator to work with the corresponding third-party application, follow these
guidelines:
• Obtain a version of the third-party application that is supported by Switch; see Third-party
applications on page 23.
• Install the third-party application on the same computer as Switch (it will also be launched
on that computer).
• Use the installer program or installer guidelines supplied with the third-party application.
Note:
User must legally obtain a valid license and installation kit from the application's vendor (or its
representatives) for any third-party application used in conjunction with Switch. Enfocus does
not sell, distribute or support third-party applications. In most cases you need to license a
third-party application through its own user interface. Some configurators however support
licensing the corresponding third-party application from within Switch. See Licensing third-party
applications on page 27.
PackManager
Import and update mechanism
Configurators from some Crossroads partners are shipped with the Switch installer and can be
loaded during a post installation procedure (packs). However, for some other partners the plug-in
can only be downloaded from the Crossroads website.
Update installations include all configurator packs. PackManager is used to assist the user in
managing configurators.
Users can also manually download the configurators from the Crossroads website and eventually
install via PackManager.
In FullSwitch and PowerSwitch, click Manage configurators... option present below Manage
languages... in the Help menu of the Menu bar. This option provides access to new configurators
and an install/ update/ remove mechanism for configurators that are already installed.
