Implementing Software Management Solution

Before you use Software Management Solution, you must set it up and prepare it
for use.

See

“About Software Management Solution”

on page 13.

The prerequisites for implementing Software Management Solution are as follows:

■

Symantec Management Platform and Software Management Solution must
be installed on the Notification Server computer.

For more information, see the Symantec Management Platform Installation
Guide.

■

The Altiris Agent must be installed on the computers that you plan to manage.

Software Management Solution requires that target computers be managed.
A managed computer is one on which the Altiris Agent is installed.

For more information, see the topics about installing the Altiris Agent in the
Symantec Management Platform Help.

■

The Altiris Agent for UNIX, Linux, and Mac must be installed on the
non-Windows computers that you plan to manage.

For more information, see the topics about installing the Altiris Agent for
UNIX, Linux, and Mac in the Symantec Management Platform Help.
