in the network.

XDS Administration Server: Overview
In the image above, meeting room 1 and 2, and XDS D esktop Sharing clients share one single license read from the XDS Admin-
istration Server.
1.2 Advantages of using XDS Administration Server
Why use XDS Administration Server for licensing?
By using XDS Administration S erver for licensing, a single license file can be used for multiple m eeting rooms and desktop sharing
clients. All XDS co mponents connect to this XDS Adm inistration Serve r to validate their license. The comfort options (e.g. Video
Conference Con trol) are checked via administration server.
1.3 Points to remember
For one single meeting room display, this installation procedure can be omitted as the license file can be
installed on the XDS Desktop Generating P C o f that meeting room.
For more than o ne meeting ro om, s
elect a Windows PC to run the XDS Administration Server. This PC should
be ru nning in order to allow license validation for XDS sessions. So select a stable PC which is always oper-
ational (e.g. a server in IT department). All installed XDS components in the network can then connect to this
PC to check their license.

About this cha p ter
This chapter describes the procedure to install the XDS Administration Server.
Overview
• Installing the XD S Adm inistration Server
• Getting the licens e file
• Importing the license file
• Retrieving the host name/IP addr ess
• Specifying the host name/IP addr ess in the installers
2.1 Installing the XDS Administration Server
XDS does not support forward/backward c omp atibility. Every c lient and display software to be installed must
be o f the same main version for the application to work. T his rule applies to X DS Administration Server soft-
ware also : the version of XDS Administration Server shou ld also match w ith the d isplay/client software.
The XDS v ersion n um bering is as follows: A.B.C.D., (e.g. 3.0.120.1). If the A p art (i.e. main v ersion nu mber)
of the client version is d ifferent from A part of the display system version, then the client will not be able to
connect with the display system server. We do not have to take B, C and D into consideration as it does not
affect the f unctionality of the application.
The XDS Display software cannot be installed on the machine where the XDS Ad ministration S erver software
is running.
How to install the XDS Administration Server?
1. Upload XDS_x.x.xxx.x_Adm inServer.exe from the XDS
installation CD ROM to the Windows PC where the license will be stored
2. Double click X D S_x.x.xxx.x_AdminServer.exe
The B arco XDS Administration Server S etup wizard opens.
