Installation and activation

The installation and activation for Double-Take servers is a two-part process. First, you will have to install the software on your servers. Second, you will have to activate your licenses. Choose how you want to install and activate your servers using either of the following methods.

Single server installation and activation—You can install and activate your servers one at a time. In this scenario, you will install Double-Take on one server and then you will activate the license on that server. You can repeat this process for other servers.
Multiple server installation and activation—You can install and activate multiple servers at one time. In this scenario, you will need install Double-Take on all of your servers and then you will activate the licenses for all of the servers at once.

The term installation is being used generically to represent a new Double-Take installation or a Double-Take upgrade.

See Installation and License management and activation for details on the various installation and license and activation methods.
