4 Software Prerequisites
Have the following information ready before starting the installation process. Because it is assumed that you will not have an external network connection during the XC Software installation process, we recommend that you download all passwords, the XC.lic file, device drivers, firmware, XC patches, and documentation to your laptop before you begin the software installation process.
