Installing the solution

You can either install all the components on the same machine or spread them out over several machines.

We recommend that you run the Installation Center on machines in the following sequence:

  1. Server(s) hosting the administration and log databases,

  2. Servers that host the backend component,

  3. Servers that host the agent handler,

  4. Servers or workstations that host the administration console.

When installing SES Evolution on the first machine, databases and certificates must be installed and the super administrator must be created; these options cannot be unselected. Other components can be added to this machine.

To add one or several backend components, administration consoles and agent handlers later on other machines, you need to run the Installation Center on each machine and modify an existing installation. The machines on which consoles and agent handlers are installed must be able to communicate with the backend. The backend must also be able to communicate with the databases.
