Software AG strongly recommends you to create installation images of your products and store them on your internal network before you begin the installation. Create an image for each operating system on which you plan to install that is covered by your license agreement. Storing images enables you to ensure consistency across installations over time; the installer provides only the latest product releases, while installation images contain the product releases you download into them. In addition, installing from images helps you reduce WAN traffic and improve installation speeds. For instructions on creating an installation image, see Using the Software AG Installer.
