prior to 3WXM if you plan to use 3WXM in your HP OpenView
environment.
 Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.x or later (or plug-in)—For reading the

Preparing for
Installation
A licensed copy of 3WXM comes with a base license key. Before you
install 3WXM, make sure you have the appropriate administrative
privileges on the system.
After you have installed 3WXM, you will need to register your license and
the serial number with 3Com in order to obtain an activation key.
The base key along with its activation key enables you to manage up to 10
wireless LAN switches. To manage more than 10 wireless LAN switches, you
also need an upgrade key and an additional activation key, which you obtain
from 3Com. See “Serial Number and License Key” on page 22 for more
information.
If you plan to install the HP OpenView plug-in for 3WXM, which allows
you to integrate 3WXM into an HP OpenView environment, make sure
that HP OpenView is already installed.
If you are installing an evaluation copy, you still need to obtain an
activation key from 3Com after installation.
