Installing the Software › Prerequisites

Prerequisites

Perform the following tasks before installing the CA ADA software:

• Download the latest CA ADA setup file, ADASetup10.1.xxx.exe, from CA Support.
• If you have a CA ADA appliance from CA, we recommend that you verify the currently installed software version. If necessary, upgrade to the latest version. To verify the software version, log in to the CA ADA console and click the About link. For information about upgrading CA ADA, see the Upgrade Guide.
• Do not install CA ADA on the same computer as NetQoS Performance Center 6.1. The CA Single Sign-on application that is provided with CA ADA is not compatible with the CA Single Sign-on that is provided with the CA NetQoS Performance Center. If necessary, install CA ADA on a different computer.
• Extract or copy the setup file to the servers or virtual machines where you want to install the software.
• Verify that the setup file has permission to run:
  1. Right-click the setup file, and select Properties.
  2. Click Unblock.
  3. Click OK.
