MOVEit Automation 2017 Plus Installation

• To install MOVEit Automation 2017 Plus:

1. Log in to Microsoft Windows as Administrator or using a comparable account with full administrative privileges to the computer, then double-click the downloaded MOVEit installation file to start the installation.
2. Read the Welcome screen and indicate if you want to configure MOVEit using either Express or Custom installation mode. Express installs all program features and uses the default installation path. Custom installs modules selected by the user and allows them to configure additional settings as needed. Then, click Next to proceed.
3. Enter your MOVEit activation key, then click Next. Doing so activates your software using your computer's Internet connection.

   Important: From here, you can alternately choose to activate your MOVEit installation using a license file which can be retrieved from the My Products section of the Customer Portal, or by using the offline activation process detailed here. This option is useful if your MOVEit server is not connected to the Internet.

4. Select the MOVEit modules you want to install, then click Next to proceed. You have the option to install Automation Server, Automation Web Admin, or Automation VB Admin.
5. Review the results of the system configuration check. If any prerequisite checks did not pass, please resolve them, then click Revalidate to perform the system configuration check again. Click Next to proceed.

   Important: If you selected Custom when beginning this installation, proceed to the next step. If you selected Express installation, proceed directly to step 10.

6. Specify whether you want to install a new instance of My SQL Server locally or use an Existing Microsoft SQL Server database, then click Next.
   1. If you chose My SQL Server, enter a name and location for the new instance as well as credentials for both the MYSQL Administrator and MYSQL User accounts, then click Next.

      Important: Ipswitch recommends using the default names provided for your databases. If you choose to use non-standard database names, please do so during product installation as modifying them after installation is complete could cause potential issues with network monitoring.

   2. If you choose Existing Microsoft SQL Server, enter the SQL Server name along with the SQL Server Administrator Login name and password for MOVEit to use to access the existing instance, then click Next.
