The following steps are only intended to be an outline of the general tasks included in a simple implementation. Always consult your local system Administrator to determine if any additional steps are required.
The CM4D Server Installation includes the core CM4D products, automation, scheduled reporting, alarm notification, web reporting, and database user privileges. This type of installation is installed on a network Server and licensed with a Named Server License. The Server installer is used for network application servers that host the services, applications, and/or databases that will be accessed from Client machines throughout the network. It includes the core CM4D products, Database Utilities and the services: DataSmith Batch, CM4D Scheduler and EventSmith. The Server installation is also used in conjunction with the CM4D Results Services and the CM4D web application installations (Peruse, Upload Portal), but these can be installed on a different server. The CM4D Server install is typically used by large networks running Automation services, with multiple Clients connecting to the server for database access, document storage, and ATS licensing.

Downloading and installing these prerequisites is only required if you plan to run the installer on a machine that does not have an internet connection. With an internet connection, any prerequisites not present or require updates are downloaded automatically when needed during installation.
CM4D Server Installations require a Named (Node Locked) Server license to run the CM4D Scheduler, CM4D Launcher and DataSmith Batch services. This license is requested automatically on the ATS Licensing Server when any of those services attempt to start for the first time.
