Before you begin the Entire Net-Work Client installation, ensure that the following prerequisites have been met:
Close (stop) all open applications, especially those applications interacting with or depending on your Adabas databases. This includes Natural, the Adabas DBA Workbench, and prior releases of Entire Net-Work.
Disable any antivirus software.
Ensure the target computer is connected to the network.
Verify the license key files are copied somewhere in your environment or have the diskette available. Entire Net-Work Client will not run without valid license keys. For more information, read Entire Net-Work Client License Key.
Read the Entire Net-Work Client Release Notes, Configuration Considerations, and Concepts.
If you are upgrading from an Entire Net-Work Version 2 (or earlier) installation, please read the Entire Net-Work 7 Planning Guide for a complete description of the architectural changes that have occurred in Entire Net-Work 7, migration considerations, and answers to frequently asked questions.
Determine whether or not the Entire Net-Work management components (Software AG Directory Server and System Management Hub) need to be installed as part of this Entire Net-Work Client installation.
If SMH is already installed in your enterprise, you should run the Entire Net-Work Client installation on the machine on which SMH is installed to install the Entire Net-Work Client agent required to maintain Entire Net-Work Clients (for more details, read Installation Considerations for the SMH).
If the Directory Server has already been installed in your enterprise by other Software AG products, you do not need to install it again -- although multiple installations of the Directory Server are allowed (for more details, read Installation Considerations for the Software AG Directory Server).
