Installing and Uninstalling Converter
Standalone
3
You can install Converter Standalone on a physical or a virtual machine. You can also modify or repair a
Converter Standalone installation.
The Local setup installs the Converter Standalone server, Converter Standalone agent, and Converter
Standalone client for local use.
During the client-server installation, you can select the Converter Standalone components that you want to
install on your system.
When you install the Converter Standalone server and Remote access, the local machine becomes a server for
conversions, which you can manage remotely. When you install the Converter Standalone server and the
Converter Standalone client, you can use the local machine to access remote Converter Standalone servers or
create conversion tasks locally.
If you install only Converter Standalone client, you can connect to a remote Converter Standalone server. You
can then use the remote machine to convert hosted virtual machines, managed virtual machines, or remote
physical machines.
