Shut Down Products
Shut down all non-Software AG applications that are running on the machine on which you are going to install. If these applications are not shut down, product files might become corrupted.
If you are going to install products into an existing Software AG product installation directory (that contains products from the same release), shut down running products in that directory so files that are locked by the operating system can be updated. For instructions, see the product documentation.
