In most cases, you will use Software Management integrated in a software delivery environment, but you can also use the Packager and Installer in a stand-alone mode.
When you use the Packager and Installer in a software delivery environment, products are packaged in the PIF format on a packaging system using the Packager. Then, the PIF products are registered in the software package library on a manager system and distributed through software delivery functions using an installation order. On the target computer, software delivery agent functions receive and evaluate the installation order, and the Installer installs the PIF product.
The following illustration shows the Packager and Installer in a software delivery environment:
When you use the Packager and Installer in the stand-alone mode, the PIF products created on the packaging system are distributed to the target computers using media like CD-ROM or DVD, or through the web. On the target computers, the Installer installs the PIF products from that media.
