Makeready Software System Configuration and Installation
This chapter contains the procedures required to install and configure the FreeFlow software.
Before You Begin
Your FreeFlow product is supported on platforms that meet or exceed the system requirements
defined by Xerox in the FreeFlow Makeready Release Notes
Support and Drivers section on www.xerox.com. The customer installs and configures an
appropriately licensed version of the operating system on the server, then installs the software.
Before the installation of the FreeFlow software starts, the Installer checks the system
prerequisites and displays any prerequisites that are required before the installation can
continue.
To obtain a license for the FreeFlow software, contact a Xerox Sales Representative or Agent.
The license .dat file determines the options that are enabled during installation.
. For more information, visit the

• When you install third-party applications, always accept the default or typical installation
settings.
