2 Installing HP-UX Software Assistant
Installation requirements
For Windows systems within HP SIM
When installing SWA on a Windows system to run within HP SIM, all the requirements are met
by running a supported version of HP SIM. Be sure to select the Windows software specification
from the SWA download webpage at http://www.hp.com/go/swa-download.
SWA is only available via HP SIM on a Windows system – there is no command-line interface.
Although SWA can run on a Windows system within HP SIM, it can only evaluate and report on
HP-UX 11i v2 and v3 systems.
For HP-UX systems – CLI or within HP SIM
To install SWA on an HP-UX system, you will require the following items:
• A system running an HP-UX 11i Operating Environment.
• Administrative privileges to install software on the target system.
• The required applications, described in the table below. They are included in the SWA bundle
for download. See the https://www.hp.com/go/java webpage for required Java patches.

Java™ is only required for SWA analysis functionality. If you do not want Java on a system, you have the following
alternatives:
◦ Install Java and the full SWA tool on a single system and do all analysis from that system. The SwaMin product
may be installed on clients that have no network connectivity to the analysis system.
◦ Use the SwaMin product to gather inventory and upload to the HP Support Center web site at http://
www.hp.com/go/hpsc for analysis (currently patches only).
Getting the SWA software
IMPORTANT: SWA requires an active HP support agreement (that includes Software Updates)
linked to your HPSC profile. HP recommends you use SWA version C.02.90 or later.
