Chapter 1 Planning Your Installation
Determining Installation Options
Determining Installation Options
Cisco NPS has two component programs:
•Design and Analysis
•Virtual Network Data Server
Before installing the component programs, select the computers where you want to install these programs. Each computer must meet the system requirements for the program of interest, as described in the System Requirements for Cisco Network Planning Solution chapter.
Note Although you can install Virtual Network Data Server and Design and Analysis on the same computer, Cisco strongly recommends that you install these components on separate computers. Doing so will achieve the best performance from each component. (Design and Analysis is usually installed on a user desktop or laptop, while Virtual Network Data Server is usually installed on a server in the Network Operations Center.)

Restricted and Unrestricted Licenses
You can buy either Restricted or Unrestricted versions of the Cisco NPS program licenses. This distinction determines the scope of authorized users:
•A Restricted license confines the user of a program to one IP network by default subnet class. This means that the licensed program can be used only if the License Server is in the same classful IP network. IP network connectivity between the program and server is required.
•An Unrestricted license offers the most flexibility for organizations that operate multiple IP networks (as defined by default subnet class). Users can access licenses from within the same classful IP network as the License Server as well as from up to 100 additional IP networks. These networks must be defined in advance.
