Installing

Before installing the SoftRemoteLT software, read the Release Notes for technical issues concerning this release. If you encounter any problems during the installation, check the Release Notes for the solution.

1. If you're installing this product on Windows NT or Windows 2000 or XP, log on as administrator or its equivalent.

2. Run the setup.exe file on the installation CD-ROM or in the installation package.

3. Work through the installation wizard. Unless otherwise instructed, accept the defaults.

   Note: The SafeNet VPN Adapter, which supports L2TP, is installed only when these network components are already installed on your computer:

   Operating system	Component
   Windows 95	Dial-Up Networking with the Microsoft Dial-Up  Networking 1.3 Upgrade
   Windows 98 and Me	Dial-Up Networking
   Windows NT	Remote Access Server (RAS)

   Because Windows 2000 and XP use the native Windows L2TP adapter, the SafeNet L2TP adapter isn't installed on computers running these operating systems.

4. When the installation completes, click Finish.

5. To complete the client installation, make sure that your computer restarts.

Upgrading

To upgrade to this version of SoftRemoteLT, take these steps:

1. Uninstall the current version on your computer through the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs application:

   1. In the uninstall wizard, on the Maintenance dialog box, click Remove. This removes all the client product's components, but not your security policy.
