Approximately 50 MB of hard-disk space is required for Entire Operations (without any Natural or Software AG Installer packages). This value depends on the installation hardware. On some platforms, it is higher.

License File

During the installation of Entire Operations, the Software AG Installer prompts you to enter the path to a valid license file. The license file is an XML file which is delivered by e-mail.

The components that can be installed with Entire Operations are based on your license file.

Note:
The Software AG Installer does not check all information in the license file. All license checks are done, however, when the product itself is started.
