The Installer leads you through a series of windows that ask you for all the information required in
order to install NetSight Inventory Manager. You will need the following information to complete the
installation:
Client/Server or Client−only Install −− You will need to select whether you are installing a
Client−only or Client and Server version of Inventory Manager.
Client−only − This will install the Inventory Manager client on the system. No server
or database components will be installed. This requires that an Inventory Manager
Client and Server has been installed on another system with NetSight Console 2.2
Server.
•
Client and Server − This requires that NetSight Console 2.2 Server already be
installed on the system. This provides the server and database components for the
Inventory Manager features to integrate with NetSight Console 2.2. An Inventory
Manager client will also be installed on this system.
•
•
License Text −− You will need to enter the license text that you received when you generated
the Inventory Manager license. (When you purchased Inventory Manager, you received a
Licensed Product Entitlement ID that allows you to generate a product license. You must
generate the license prior to installing Inventory Manager. Refer to the instructions included
with the Entitlement ID that was sent to you.)
•
Destination Directory −− This is the path to your Inventory Manager Installation Directory.
In the Destination Directory window, click Browse to navigate to the directory, or type the
path in manually. The installer will add the NetSight Inventory Manager directory to the end
of the path.
