This is a step by step guide to install the Activation Server. There are 2 installation packages:
| • | MSI package. It is recommended to use this package because it checks if all necessary system requirements like IIS, ASP.NET are available, creates the database and configures the Activation Server |
| • | The ZIP file contains only the files of the Activation Server with the necessary folder structure. The setup has to be done manually. This could be necessary if you have no admin access to the server and a provider wants to have control the installation of Administration / Setup like IIS or ASP.NET. |
If you use Windows 2000 Server, you always have to use the ZIP file installation.
If you are using the Mirage Hosting service, then the installation is already done. See chapter Mirage Hosting Service.
To install updates on an already running Activation Server see chapter Install Updates
| 1. | System Requirements and installation of required components |
The .msi installer does not add an uninstaller to allow an installation of multiple instances of the Activation Server on one machine. This is included in the license as long as the Activation Server is used only by one company and no hosting for other companies is offered.
