z To install the Node Manager as a Windows service.
You must have Administrator privileges to install the Node Manager as a Windows service.
When the Node Manager is installed as a Windows service, it starts at the completion of
the installation process, and again, automatically, each time you boot your Windows
system.
For more information, see “About Installing Node Manager as a Windows Service” on
page 1-19.
z To create Start menu shortcuts in the All Users folder.
When you are installing the software as a user with Administrator privileges, you are
presented with the option to create the Start menu shortcuts in the All Users folder, or in
the Local user’s Start menu folder. The following table describes the options available.
If a user without Administrator privileges installs the software, the Start menu entries are created
in the user’s local Start menu folder.
Licensing
Your BEA software cannot be used without a valid license. When you install your software, the
installation program installs a development license (
license.bea) into the BEA Home
directory, to allow you to start using the product immediately.
To use your software in a full-scale production environment, you must purchase a production
license. To find out how to do so, contact your sales representative or visit the BEA corporate
Web site at
http://www.bea.com.
For more information about development and production licenses, see “About BEA Product
Licenses” on page 6-1.
