Installation

administrative privileges on the system and a license key if required. If you

 

plan to install the HP OpenView plug-in for 3WXM, which allows you to

 

integrate 3WXM into an HP OpenView environment, make sure that HP

 

OpenView is already installed.

User Privileges

Before you install 3WXM, make sure that you are logged in as a user who

 

has permission to install software, or as an administrator.

 

After you install 3WXM, you can configure 3WXM access privileges for

 

the user accounts on the machine. Likewise, you can configure access

 

privileges for 3WXM Services, if installed. Access privileges for the 3WXM

 

client are completely independent of access privileges for 3WXM Services,

 

and are configured separately.

Serial Number,

The serial number is generated automatically when the 3WXM software

License Key and

is installed.

Activation Key

The license key is included with your 3WXM software packaging. You will

 

 

need a separate license key for each host on which you plan to run

 

3WXM. The license supplied with 3WXM allows you to manage up to 10

 

wireless switches. If you plan to manage more wireless switches, you will

 

also need an Unlimited Device license key (3CWXMUPA). You will need a

 

separate Unlimited Device license key for each host on which you plan to

 

run 3WXM to manage more than 10 devices.

 

If you do not have a license key, you can run 3WXM for 30 days. Once

 

this trial period is over you will need to purchase a license to continue

 

running the 3WXM software.

 

When you initially run the 3WXM software, it will ask if it is to be run as a

 

trial or as a fully licensed version. In the latter case, it will then ask for the

 

license key. The software will then display the serial number and ask for

 

an activation key.

 

To obtain an activation key, you must register the product with 3Com. If

 

you press the Get Activation Key button, your web browser will be

 

automatically launched at the correct pages for registering the product.

 

Once registration is complete, your activation key will then be displayed

 

and e-mailed to you.
