1. INTRODUCTION
This document provides information, advice and basic instructions on the BLOCKBIT
VCM platform.
We'll cover the installation process, some settings and primary actions for its operation.
BLOCKBIT Appliance.
Environment Check.
Pre-installation requirements:
Before proceeding with the installation it is recommended to perform some checks.
Make sure that the network gateway server is configured to allow the masking (NAT) of
the server's IP address that will be installed. During the Wizard the license number is
required for PRODUCT ACTIVATION.
BLOCKBIT VCM connects to the product activation servers and during this process
occurs the validation and installation of modules authorized by the license number.

2. INSTALLATION PROCESS
The BLOCKBIT VCM server installation process is divided into two (2) steps.
• Step 1: Installation Wizard - BLOCKBIT VCM Manager(r).
