10 HMP Release 2.0 for Windows Software Installation Guide — December 2005
Installation Overview
1.2 Major Installation Steps
Following are the major installation steps:
1. Before installing the HMP Software, make sure that the system meets the hardware and
software “System Requirements” as described in the HMP Software Release Guide.
2. To install the software, you must have local administrative privileges. Contact your network
administrator to set up administrative privileges as required.
3. If you have an earlier version of HMP Release 2.0, HMP Release 1.3
or HMP Release 1.1 (or
earlier) on your system, you must uninstall it as described in Section 2.1.1, “Uninstalling a
Previous Release”, on page 14. If you have a previous version of HMP Release 2.0 on your
system, you do not have to uninstall it.
4. Obtain an HMP Software license. You can do this before or after you install the HMP
Software. A verification license supplied with the software will allow you to run the
verification demo (IP Media Server Demo) to confirm that you have installed the HMP
Software properly. However, its features are limited and you will need to obtain another
license. Refer to Section 1.3, “HMP Licenses”, on page 10 for more information. Complete
information and procedures for obtaining and working with licenses is provided in the HMP
Administration Guide.
5. Install the HMP Release 2.0 software. Refer to one of the following procedures:
• Section 2.3, “Performing a Full Install of the Software”, on page 20
• Section 2.4, “Performing an Update Install”, on page 23
• Section 2.5, “Performing a Silent Install”, on page 25
If you are not sure about which installation procedure to use, refer to Section 1.1, “Choosing
the Appropriate Installation Procedure”, on page 9.
6. Optionally run the IP Media Server demo to verify proper installation of the HMP Software.
Refer to Section 2.6, “Verifying the Installation Using the IP Media Server Demo”, on page
30.
1.3 HMP Licenses
Before you use the HMP Software and (optionally) the supported Intel NetStructure
®
DNI or DSI
boards, you must obtain a license file
1
containing HMP license data. An HMP license is a file
containing authorizations for a combination of call control and media processing features. You can
obtain a license file either before or after you install the HMP Software and supported boards, but
you need to obtain a license file before you can proceed with using the HMP Software and
supported boards.
If you are using only the HMP Software, the license will be associated with the host machine via a
Lock Code. If you are using one or more of the supported Intel NetStructure
DNI or DSI boards,
1. A verification license is installed with the HMP Software, activated and ready to use, but this license
is only intended to be used for verifying that the HMP Software installation was successful (see
Section 2.6, “Verifying the Installation Using the IP Media Server Demo”, on page 30).
