Note
Before you start any installation task, verify that you have received your license from the BMC support team. If not, you can still install BMC Client Management with a trial license that allows you to start using BMC Client Management, but it is limited to 20 devices (including master and relays) and 30 days. When you receive your final license, you can import it and continue working and installing your remaining infrastructure devices.
Installation process overview
If you have Client Management 10.x or later installed, see Upgrading for the upgrade procedure.
