In this example, Adabas Version 6.4 SP1, Adabas Administration Services Version 2.1 SP1 and Adabas Client Version 6.5 SP1, as well as the corresponding infrastructure have already been installed in the selected installation directory. Therefore, these products are shown as disabled. Depending on your credentials, you may see (and can select or deselect) further entries in the Adabas Products node. Please refer to the separate documentation of the individual product(s) for a detailed description of the required installation steps.
