Key Considerations 57
Before installing 3Com Network Director, you must ensure that 3Com
Network Supervisor Advanced Package v2.0 is unlocked:
1 Launch 3Com Network Supervisor v4.0
2 If the Registration Information dialog box is not displayed at startup,
select the Help > Register Now menu option to display that dialog box.
3 Select Advanced Package v2.0 in the list of installed packages.
4 If Advanced Package v2.0 is not already unlocked (i.e. Registered), you
must unlock it by:
a Entering the license key for Advanced Package v2.0 - the license key is
printed inside the CD sleeve.
b Entering the activation key for Advanced Package v2.0 in the dialog
box - a copy of the activation key was sent to you by e-mail when you
registered Advanced Package v2.0.
c Clicking OK in the Registration Information dialog box - you should
get confirmation that the Advanced Package v2.0 functionality is now
unlocked.
If the activation key is rejected, this probably means that the workstation
on which you installed 3Com Network Supervisor Advanced Package v2.0
is not the same as the one for which you originally obtained an activation
key; if that is the case, please refer to “
I want to install my upgrade from
3Com Network Supervisor Advanced Package v2.0 to 3Com Network
Director on a different workstation.” on page 55.
You may now install 3Com Network Director:
1 Uninstall 3Com Network Supervisor v4.0 - this will also uninstall
Advanced Package v2.0.
2 Install 3Com Network Director v1.0.
This will start the evaluation period, which expires in 60 days. To continue
using 3Com Network Director beyond the 60-day evaluation period, you
must activate the product:
1 If you have not already done so, order 3Com Network Director from your
reseller, product number 3C15500U. For more information on product
numbers, see “
What product number is right for me?” on page 54.
2 Run 3Com Network Director and click on Activate Now... in the About
dialog box - The Activation Wizard will launch.
