To download the files

1. Create a directory in which to place the downloaded files.

   Note

   On Windows computers, ensure that the directory is only one level into  the directory structure. The EPD package creates a directory in the  temporary directory when you extract the files, and the directory that  contains the installation image should not be in a directory deeper than  two levels into the directory structure.

2. Go to the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.5 download page.
   

3. At the logon prompt, enter your user ID and password, and click Sign In.
4. On the Export Compliance and Access Terms page, provide the  required information, agree to the terms of the agreements, and click Continue.
5. On the Product or Patches tab, select the files that you want to download for the applicable version.

6. Click Download (FTP).

   The selected items are placed in an FTP directory, and the credentials and FTP instructions are sent to you in an e-mail message.

   Tip

   You can also click on a download file and be prompted to save it.
