Installation
Note:
Do not install NetDVMS on a mounted drive (i.e. a drive attached to an empty folder on an NTFS (NT File
System) volume, with a label or name instead of a drive letter). If using mounted drives, critical system features may
not work as intended; you will, for example, not receive any warnings if the system runs out of disk space.
Prerequisites:
Shut down any existing OnSSI software. If upgrading, read
Upgrading from a Previous Version
first.
1. Insert the NetDVMS software DVD, wait for a short while, select required language, then click the
Install
NetDVMS
link.
Alternatively, if you are installing a version downloaded from the internet, run the downloaded installation file
from the location you have saved it to.
Tip:
Depending on your security settings, you may receive one or more security warnings (
Do you want
to run or save this file?
,
Do you want to run this software?
or similar). When this is the case, click the
Run
button.
2. When the installation wizard starts, click
Next
to continue.
3. Read and accept the End User License Agreement, then click
Next
.
4. If an earlier NetDVMS version (6.0a or later) is present on the server, you will be asked to accept that it is
automatically removed during installation of the new version. The automatic removal will not delete any
existing recordings or configuration. If asked, we recommend answering
Yes
, since this will ensure that old
versions will not interfere with your new version. Note that NetDVMS versions earlier than 6.0 must be
removed manually before installing the new version, see
Upgrading from a Previous Version
.
5. Select
Typical
installation (advanced users can select
Custom
installation, and choose which features to install
and where to install them).
6. Select
the
Install licensed Version
option, and specify your user name, organization, and Software License
Code (SLC; printed on your Product License Sheet). When ready, click
Next
.
7. Click
the
Install
button to begin the software installation. During the process, all the necessary components
will be installed one after the other.
8. Click
Finish
on the last step to complete the installation.

window appears on your screen during installation, simply click its

Tip:
If you want to make additional language versions of NetGuard-EVS and NetGuard (such as Spanish, French,
or Japanese versions) available to your organization's users, you can quickly do this once you have installed
NetDVMS. See more in the description of the
Download Manager
.
