(This computer is referred to as the Client computer in this install procedure.) Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - CommCell Explorer. The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the CommCell Explorer. If you choose to install multiple components simultaneously, refer to the appropriate procedures for installation requirements and steps specific to the component. Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software: General The CommCell Explorer can only be installed after the CommServe has already been installed. This version of the software is intended to be installed in a CommCell where the CommServe version is Ensure there is an available license on the CommServe for the CommCell Explorer. Close all applications and disable any programs that run automatically, including anti-virus, screen savers and operating system utilities. Some of the programs, including many anti-virus programs, may be running as a service. Stop and disable such services before you begin. You can re-enable them after the installation. Make sure that the stand-alone CommCell Console application is closed. The Service Control Manager and the Windows Services window are closed. Verify that you have the software installation disc that is appropriate to the destination computer s operating system. Make sure that you have the latest software installation disc before you start to install the software. If you are not sure, contact your software provider. Before You Begin Log on to the client as local Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group on that computer. Install Procedure Getting Started 1. Place the software installation disc for the Windows
