Overview

Overview	You should deploy the Soft-PK installation program with a customized
	security policy and the necessary digital certificates. Custom
	installations are designed to make it easy to manage corporate
	security policies for tens, hundreds, or thousands of end users.
	Along with the necessary software and files, you should provide
	specific Soft-PK installation and setup instructions for each end user.
	This facilitates management of corporate security policies for your end
	users and simplifies what the end user must do.
	The Soft-PK product CD provided by Secure Computing includes a
	file (userworksheet.doc) in MS Word format that you can customize
	and send to users.
