Ridgeline Installation and Upgrade Guide
7
There is no separate installation package for the Ridgeline client. When you connect to the Ridgeline
server with a browser and launch the Ridgeline client, all required files are downloaded and installed
on your system automatically.
No license is needed to run the Ridgeline client; however, the Ridgeline server must have a valid license
installed before any client connections are allowed.
NOTE
If you are running the Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), you must install the
Ridgeline XNV agent on the SCVMM host. For installation information, see Step 6
on page 55
.
