Installation Procedure for Windows

Uninstallation Procedure for Windows

Follow this procedure to install Log Central on the central host, each managed node, and the database host, if it is a different machine from the central host.

To install Log Central on Windows:

1. Make sure your system meets or exceeds the requirements listed in the Log Central Release Notes.

2. Obtain a license file.

   Call or email BEA Customer Support to request a license file for Log Central.

   • The contact information for BEA Customer Support in North America is:

     1-888-232-7878

     support@bea.com

   • For contact information for additional locations, go to the following Web address:

     When you receive your license file, copy it to your hard drive.

3. Exit all Windows programs.

4. Insert the Log Central CD into the machine on which you are installing Log Central (the central host, the database host, or a managed node).

   The Log Central installation program starts automatically and displays the Welcome dialog.
