Installing the Software

In order to use SmartBins, you need to install Profile PC client software, install
the SmartBins Service and obtain a license for the software for use in your
newsroom. The software should be installed on the system that will be hosting
the SmartBin Server, which may be a DSM or a separate XRE Server.

In addition, if you are using SmartBins on a NAS system, you need to mount
the NAS volume on the machine running the SmartBins Service. If you are
using SmartBins on a K2 system, you need to make sure the machine hosting
the SmartBins Server is properly configured for the K2 network.
