Getting started with Xbuilder
Installation and licensing information
Xbuilder is packaged with the Vertigo Suite software installation wizard. It can be installed
as part of the full installation or as an individual (standalone) component. In both cases, you
simply need to run the installation wizard on a workstation that is on the same network as
the Xmedia Server.
Information regarding the Vertigo Suite’s hardware and network requirements, as well as
instructions for installing and/or upgrading Xbuilder, are available in the Vertigo Suite’s
Release Notes, which can be downloaded from the Miranda Technical Support Services
web site
.
To operate in its full capacities, Xbuilder requires that four (4) software application licenses
(listed below) be installed and validated on the Xmedia Server. Therefore, once Xbuilder is
installed, you must contact the Miranda Technical Support team (
)
to request a license key. Then you must apply and validate the licenses using the
XmediaServer Control Panel. Instructions for acquiring and validating licenses are also
provided in the Vertigo Suite’s Release Notes.
