General Information
The downloadable install file contains a setup program for SROD version 8.9.1. Installation is a matter of
determining whether the product resides on a standalone PC (Desktop) or shared on a network and uses
the appropriate setup programs.

Desktop

1. SROD Installation
2. License Activation or Renewal

Network
SROD can also be installed on a network.

A network installation of SROD is accomplished in three steps:

1. Installation of the executables and data files to the server

2. Installation of a license file (one-time activation only) on the server
3. Finalization at each client workstation
a. Install SROD media, on the client workstation.
b. Configure SROD license sub-system to point to the shared license file.

A network license specifies the number of users that can use SROD simultaneously. The network license,
guided by the customer’s license agreement, monitors the usage of a licensed product. For example, if a
customer uses a network license for 10 SROD users, the network license allows access to SROD by up to
10 concurrent users. The 11th user would be denied access to SROD until a license becomes available.
