INSTALLATION:
When you purchased Inventory Manager, you received a Licensed Product Entitlement ID that allows you to
generate a product license. Prior to installing Inventory Manager, you must redeem your Entitlement ID for a
product license. Refer to the instructions included with the Entitlement that was sent to you. (For more
information, see http://www.enterasys.com/products/management/.)
The NetSight Installer (InstallAnywhere
®
by Zero G Software, Inc.) leads you through a series of windows
that ask you for all the information required in order to install Inventory Manager. In one of the windows, you
will need to enter the license text that you receive when you redeem your Entitlement ID. When you finish
with the series of windows, Inventory Manager is installed according to your specification.
For complete installation instructions, refer to the installation documentation located on the NetSight
Documentation web page: http://www.enterasys.com/support/manuals/netsight.html.
If you will be installing from a CD, you can also access the installation instructions from the CD with a web
browser by opening the install.htm file located in the top−level directory.

If you have requested an Inventory Manager evaluation license, you will receive a License Key. Evaluation
requests for each product are limited to three 30−day instances. To upgrade from an evaluation copy of
Inventory Manager to a purchased copy, contact your Enterasys Networks Representative to purchase the
software and receive an Entitlement ID. You do not need to reinstall the software to perform the conversion.
