Installation and licensing
Licensing
When you purchase XProtect Transact, you also purchase two types of licenses:

Software License Code (SLC): A license to use the XProtect Transact application.

Connection License Key (CLK): A license for a certain number of simultaneously opened
transaction sources.
During the installation you are asked to enter both the SLC and the CLK. The Software License Code
is printed on the Product License Sheet enclosed with the XProtect Transact software as well as on
your order confirmation. You must, however, register your SLC (see "Register SLC" on page 12) to get
the CLK.
You can add an unlimited number of transaction sources (see "Managing sources" on page 18) in
XProtect Transact. You can, however, only view the number of simultaneous transaction sources
corresponding to your CLK. At any time, you can obtain a new CLK (see "Obtaining additional
licenses" on page 12) with more simultaneously viewed transaction sources.
Install the software
Read the License Terms on the Product License Sheet (enclosed with the software DVD) before
installing XProtect Transact.
Prerequisites: If you are upgrading, read Upgrading from a previous version (see "Upgrade from a
previous version" on page 11) first. Before installing the software, register your XProtect Transact
Software License Code (SLC) (see "Register SLC" on page 12). When the license is registered, a
Connection License Key (CLK) is generated. You need the CLK during the installation. Check that you
have the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0. You can download .NET Framework 3.0
from Microsoft's Download Center at
www.microsoft.com/downloads (see
http://www.milestonesys.com/?cid=413 - http://www.milestonesys.com/?cid=413).
If you are installing XProtect XProtect Transact on a computer running Windows Vista, you must run
the installation as an administrator.
Install XProtect Transact on the same computer as the server for XProtect Enterprise or XProtect
Professional or XProtect Basis+ or on the same computer as the management server for XProtect
Corporate.
To install XProtect Transact, do the following:
1. Run the XProtect TransactInstaller.exe installation file (either from the DVD or internet). The
wizard starts automatically.
2. Read and accept the license agreement.
3. Enter the SLC and CLK for your XProtect Transact solution.
4. SQL Server Install/Select: Choose between using an existing SQL 2005 Server on the
network or setting up a SQL Server Express Edition on the computer itself.
