The following two checklists tell you what you need for MK8000 installation, and steps
you go through to install it.
Items needed for installation
 Administrator account name and password is required.

into the same domain.

 Network names of all the PCs to install must be known.
 The hardware key (dongle) is needed, along with the license PAK associated to it.
 Installation CD: MK8000 is distributed on a CD that includes all the necessary
software and an installation guide.

before MK8000.

make sure to have the server name and the authentication password. If SiPass is
