Downloading the service pack

Perform the following steps to download the service pack:

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

    Warning

    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 http://www.bmc.com/available/epd.html.
  3. At the login prompt, enter your user ID and password, and then click Submit.
  4. On the Export Compliance and Access Terms page, provide the required information, agree to the terms of the agreements, and click Continue.
  5. If you are accessing this site for the first time, create an EPD profile to specify the languages and platforms you want to see, per EPD site help; otherwise, skip to step 6.
  6. Verify that the correct profile is displayed for your download purpose, click the Licensed Products tab.
  7. In the search box, enter BMC Release Lifecycle Management, and then click Go.
  8. In the Product Name column, click the BMC Release Lifecycle Management link, and then click the product link with the appropriate version (for example, BMC Release Lifecycle Management 5.0.01.00). 
  9. Select the check boxes next to the components that you want to download, and then click one of the following:
    • Download (FTP) places the selected items in an FTP directory, and the credentials and FTP instructions are sent to you in an email message.
    • Download Manager downloads multiple files consecutively and resumes an interrupted download if the connection drops. 
      This method requires a one-time installation of the Akami Net Session client program on the target computer and is usually faster and more reliable way to transfer files. A checksum operation is used to verify file integrity automatically.
  10. Extract the contents of the ZIP files that you downloaded and store them in a temporary directory.
