Networking Protocol
The Server and its Clients are usually separate computers connected via the TCP/1P
networking protocol. You can also run the Client and Server functions on the same computer.
NOTE The C•CURE 9000 Operator is tied to the Windows login. When users
start any client application, they are queried as to which Windows User/
Principal they are. This value is used to ascertain which privileges they
possess.
Figure 1-1 on page 1-4 illustrates how the Clients and Server function in C•CURE 9000 and
how iSTAR and apC Controllers connect to them.

Understanding Clients and Servers
Hardware - Controllers/Panels
NOTE The C•CURE 9000 documentation uses the term controller to refer to the
different types of iSTARs and panel to describe apC/8X panels.
Communications between a server and multiple iSTAR controllers or apC/8X panels are via
TCP/IP over an Ethernet network.
iSTAR Controllers
STAR Classic/Pro, STAR eX, STAR Edge, and STAR Ultra are Ethernet-ready controllers.
C • CURE 9000 acts as a database and journal host, and networks to the iSTAR controllers for
initial set-up —managing peripheral hardware and generating activity reports.
The host downloads personnel information, configuration information, and event-directed
actions to the STAR controllers. The controllers enable local management of events without
host intervention.
apC/8X Panels
The advanced processing Controller (apC) panel is an intelligent field device that performs
basic access control tasks. The apC/8X access control field panels coordinate communication
between the victor Application Server and the system security hardware, such as card readers.

Computers in a C•CURE 9000 network need to have their clocks synchronized to a user-
selected time standard. Otherwise, C•CURE 9000 activity time stamps may not be correct.
For the computers in the C• CURE 9000 network there are basically three different situations,
summarized in the following list.
NOTE The list describes the three most common situations, but there can be other
more rarefied cases.
Be aware that everything is configurable and defaults can be overridden
manually or using group policy. Always confirm that your network is
synchronizing the time as expected. In addition, for each case in the list
there are additional options available.
For further information, see
• WS.1.0).aspx
- Or -
• Search for "Windows Time Service" on the internet.
1. All computers (the victor Application Server and all C•CURE 9000 Clients) are in the
same Active Directory Forest.
In this case, all the computers have their time synchronized automatically by Active
Directory by default. You do not have to do anything, but you should confirm that the
time is being synchronized.
However, Software House recommends that you synchronize the domain controllers
(DCs) with an external clock. See "Setting a Domain Controller as Time Server and
Synchronizing It with External Time Source" on page 2-5. In addition, to verify that a
domain computer is synchronized with the domain time server, see "Manually
Configuring Computers to Synchronize with Domain Time Server" on page 2-8.
2. All computers (the victor Application Server and all C•CURE 9000 Clients) are in
different Active Directory Forests.
In this case, you must synchronize the DCs in the different forests. Once their time is
synchronized, the change propagates to all the other computers by default. See "Setting a
Domain Controller as Time Server and Synchronizing It with External Time Source" on
page 2-5.
3. The computers are not using Active Directory at all — you are using workgroups. The
computers have time server built in. You can use either of the following two methods:
• "Configuring a Separate Time Server" - The more robust method. See page 2-5.
• "Configuring Each Computer To Get Time from Internet Independently"- the easier
method. See page 2-5.

Configuring a Separate Time Server
To Configure a Separate Time Server
I. Configure one computer as the time server. For directions, see "Configuring a Non-
domain Computer as Time Server" on page 2-6.
Ideally the time server computer should then have its time set using an atomic clock
standard. See "Setting a Domain Controller as Time Server and Synchronizing It with
External Time Source" on page 2-5.
2. Configure the other computers to synchronize their time with the time server —set their
time from the primary computer. For directions, see "Manually Configuring Computers to
Synchronize with Time Server —When Not in a domain" on page 2-7.
Configuring Each Computer To Get Time from Internet Independently
This method is set up by default, so you merely need to verify its occurrence.
NOTE This method has the problem that it requires the ntp port (usually port
123, a UDP port) to be open on your firewall.
To Verify a Computer Gets its Time from the Internet
1. From the Windows desktop, go to Start>Control Panel>Date and Time. The Date and
Time Properties window appears.
2. Open the Internet Time tab and click the Change settings button.
3. On the Internet Time Settings dialog box, select the Synchronize with an Internet time-
server check box.
4. In the Server field, leave or select another appropriate time source
from the drop-down list.
5. Click the Update Nov button to verify that the computer can successfully obtain the time.
6. Click OK.

To Synchronize a Time Server Computer with a Standard Time Source
■ Go to download their "Atomic clock sync" application, and
install it on your computer.
• Have this application synchronize once a day. (This method uses Http, so no additional
ports are required to be open.)
-or-
■ Connect to a time server running Network Time Protocol (ntp) or Simple Network Time
Protocol (sntp). (Uses UDP Port 123.)
You can configure this to happen automatically:
a. From the Windows desktop, go to Start>Control Panel>Date and Time. The Date and

f. Click OK.
NOTE This second method has the following problems:
■ It requires the ntp port (usually port 123, a UDP port) to be open on
your firewall.
■ It synchronizes only once a week. If you desire greater accuracy, you
can change the frequency of synchronization by editing the registry.
For information, see the Microsoft documentation.
Configuring a Non-domain Computer as Time Server
To Set Up a Windows Computer as a Time Server
1. Make sure that the "Windows Time" service is installed and set to start automatically on
this computer. (Check in the Windows Control Panel Services window that Startup is set
to Automatic).
Ideally, this computer should synchronize with an external time source. For the
procedure, see the preceding section.

Setting System Clock
Since C•CURE 9000 uses the system clock for tracking activity, it is important that it be correct.
NOTE The time zone for the Windows clock is set by default to Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT), which is not correct for most users.
Verify that the time zone is correct for the system's location. If your
location uses Daylight savings time, also verify that the "Automatically
Adjust Clock for Daylight Saving Time" check box is selected. (Both the
time zone and the time are set from Start>Control Panel>Date and Time.)
■ If you are not automatically synchronizing the clocks (Software House recommends that
you automatically synchronize them), you must set the system clock on every system
running the C• CURE 9000 Server or Client.
■ If you are synchronizing the clocks automatically, the clock should be set manually only
on the time server computer, and the Windows Time service will set the clocks on all other
computers.
■ In either case, if the C•CURE 9000 system server time will change by more than a few
seconds, or if you change the time zone, you must perform the following procedure on the
victor Application server.

Configuring Network Communications
Configuring Network Communications
C • CURE 9000 supports network communications for the following security objects:
C•CURE 9000 Clients
C•CURE 9000 clients communicate with the host computer using TCP/IP protocol within a
local area network (LAN) or across a wide area network (WAN).
iSTAR Controllers
iSTAR controllers communicate with the C•CURE 9000 host using TCP/1P protocol. The
onboard ports are Ethernet; therefore, you must physically connect iSTAR controllers to an
Ethernet LAN.
The host computer and the iSTAR controllers can be in a WAN only if the gateways/routers
are specified in the STAR controllers.
You can specify the IP addresses for member slave controllers in the software by using the
Hardware pane in the C•CURE 9000 Administration application.
You can specify IP addresses for controllers in the following ways:
■ Use the supplied ICU.exe module to configure the IP addresses for the master controllers.
■ You can specify gateways/routers by using the supplied ICU.exe module to configure the
gateways/routers in the controllers.
NOTE When you are specifying IP addresses for controllers, Software House
recommends that you obtain the IP address from a DHCP server —
utilizing the method that retains the static IP address (based on the MAC
address).
Connecting apCs
Advanced Processor Controllers (apCs) are wired to RS-232 or RS-485 serial connections, or
connected to terminal servers. For detailed information, refer to the apC Technical Manual and
the apC/8X Technical Manual.
NetVue Controllers
NetVue controllers communicate with the C•CURE 9000 host using the TCP/IP protocol
within a Local Area Network (LAN) or across a Wide Area Network (WAN).
Refer to the individual controller installation guides for information about which ports to use
with the controllers.

Opening Ports in Windows Firewall
'Co help protect the security of your computer, you should keep Windows Firewall on, so that
unsolicited requests to connect to your Server computer are blocked. However, C • CURE 9000
requires access to certain ports within the system. To allow this type of connection, you must
allow an exception or open a port for a specific program or service.
Risks of Opening Ports
A port is an opening into your computer through which information can flow. Each time that
you allow an exception or open a port for a program to communicate through Windows
Firewall, your computer is made more vulnerable. Opening a port increases the risk that
unknown intruders can find unprotected connections. If you have many open ports, your
computer can become a victim of these intruders.
To help decrease your security risk if you open ports:
■ Only open a port when you need it.
■ Never open a port for a program that you do not recognize.
■ Close a port when you no longer need it.
How Ports Work
Each port has a number, which is like an address. Many programs and services have a
"permanent address"— they have predefined port numbers. You can find the correct port
number for a program or service in Table 2-2 on page 2-12 which lists exceptions that may be
added to the Windows Firewall to allow the C•CURE 9000 application to operate in a Shared
Server List Format (SSLF) environment. The SSLF format has been developed to list servers in
a standard, organized framework that can be used with many software tools and edited with
every common text editor. Exceptions can be made for particular ports and for programs that
use dynamically-assigned ports.
Some programs do not have predefined port numbers. These programs open ports
automatically as needed —such as ICU.exe (shown in Table 2-2 on page 2-12). For a program
like this to connect to your computer, Windows Firewall must allow the program to open the
correct port. For these programs to work correctly, they must be listed on the Exceptions tab in
the Windows Firewall application.
NOTE To enable Windows Firewall and add ports for the Windows 7,
Windows 8.1, Windows 2008 RZ or Windows Server 2012 R2 operating
systems, see Microsoft's directions. Be aware that you must be logged on
as an administrator to perform the necessary procedures.

Limiting Amount of RAM Memory Allocated to SQL Server
If your SQL Server/SQL Server Express is running on the same computer as the victor
Application Server, you should limit the amount of memory SQL Server can use to around
50% of the total RAM on the server computer. The amount of memory SQL Server needs
depends on how large a database your system has —50% is only a rule of thumb.
You must do this after you have installed SQL Server, but before you install the C• CURE 9000
software on the server. For instance, if the server has 4 GB of RAM, allocate 2000 MB to SQL
Server. Follow the steps below to configure this allocation.

Enable SQL Server Browser Service
It you are running SQL Server 2008 82/2012/2014 by using an instance name and you are not
using a specific TCP/IP port number in your connection string, you must enable the SQL
Server Browser service to allow for remote connections.
Example:
SQL Server 2008 R2 is installed with a default instance name of
CoinputerNanze\SQLEXPRESS.
You are only required to enable the SQL Server Browser service one time, regardless of how
many instances of SQL Server 2008 82/2012/2014 you are running.
To Enable SQL Server Browser Service
1. Click Start>All Programs>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/2012/2014>Configuration

3. On the SQL Server Browser Properties page, click the Service tab and click Start Mode.
4. Click the down-arrow on the right, select Automatic from the drop-down list, and then
click Apply.
NOTE ■ When you click the Automatic option, the SQL Server Browser service
starts automatically every time that you start Microsoft Windows.
■ When you run the SQL Server Browser service on a computer, the
instance names and the connection information display for each
instance of SQL Server running on the computer. You can reduce this
risk by not enabling the SQL Server Browser service and by
connecting to the SQL Server instance directly through an assigned

an exception for each instance of SQL Server 2008 82/2012/2014 that you want to accept
remote connections as well as an exception for the SQL Server Browser service.
Each of these SQL Server editions uses an instance ID as part of the path when you install its

Configuring IIS on Windows Server Operating Systems
Configuring IIS on Windows Server Operating Systems
C• CURE 9000 Web Client, C• CURE Mobile, C• CURE Go, victor Web Service, and Client
Auto-Update require Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Management Compatibility
(version 7.5 or 8 depending on the version of your Windows operating system) to be installed,
enabled, and properly configured on the victor Application Server computer.
If you are planning to install victor Application Server on a computer with a Windows 7,
Windows 8.1, Windows 2008 R2, or Windows 2012 R2 operating system, you must enable IIS
Management Compatibility before installing C•CURE 9000.
Enabling IIS allows the C•CURE 9000 Installation program to configure your Web services for
C• CURE 9000. Furthermore, if you do not enable IIS Management Compatibility before
installing C•CURE 9000 server, you will receive an error message.
Once you have enabled IIS for your Windows operating system, configure IIS by enabling
everything—all the IIS services and the IIS Management options and IIS Hostable Web Core,
as well —except for the FTP services (FTP Server, FTP Service, FTP Extensibility).
In addition, before installing victor Application Server, you must make sure the IIS Admin
Service and the World Wide Web Publishing Service are both set to start automatically and are
currently running. If either of them is not, you will receive another error message. To check, go
to Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services and see that the Status for both is
Started and the Startup Type is set to Automatic.
For more information about configuring IIS, see the Microsoft Help and Support Web pages.
IIS Web Services ASP.NET Setting
You must verify that Microsoft Internet Information Service ASP.NET v4.0 is set to Allowed
after enabling/installing IIS on Windows.
You may also need to verify that the Allowed setting is set after running a Repair. For more
information, see "Repairing C• CURE 9000 Server or Client" on page 3-24.

Installation Overview
Installation Overview
The new Unified Installer includes C•CURE 9000 and various Integration driver options. (It
also allows you to install victor Unified Client along with C•CURE 9000.)
When installing C•CURE 9000, you must initially install software on all computers in the
security system. Before installing the software, check that the system has sufficient free space
to run the setup program and meets the minimum hardware and software requirements listed
in the current C•CURE 9000 data sheet and read Chapter 2: Setting Up Software and
Hardware for pre-installation tasks.
Install the software on each computer in your C•CURE 9000 security system separately,
according to the order described in Table 3-1 on page 3-3.
Install the Server on a dedicated computer before installing C•CURE 9000 on Client
computers. Before starting the installation process, you must have:
• A valid system license to install and run C•CURE 9000. Be sure you have the License Text
File and the initial License File from Software House (sent via email) for the C•CURE 9000
system and options.
• Administrative privileges for the computer where you want to install C•CURE 9000
software. The installation process checks administrative privileges. If you do not have
sufficient permissions, the installation displays an error message and exits. (Software
House recommends using a domain account.)
The person who performs the C•CURE 9000 installation is expected to configure at least one
other C•CURE 9000 user as an Operator in the C•CURE 9000 system. Any user who tries to
log into the C•CURE 9000 Administration Workstation or Monitoring Station without being
configured as an Operator is denied access. See the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide
for information on Operators.
The installation program checks that the system meets the minimum hardware, software, and
disk space requirements listed in the current C•CURE 9000 data sheet. If the computer does
not meet these requirements, the system displays a warning message. You can continue the
installation in some cases, but functionality may be affected. In other cases, if you do not have
a supported operating system or supported DBMS, you are not allowed to continue a new
installation.
The installation program installs third-party software first, and then installs the C•CURE 9000
software.

Steps to Install C•CURE 9000 Software
Steps to Install C•CURE 9000 Software
The Unified Installer allows you to follow different paths to install the following:
■ victor Application Server and C•CURE 9000 Client.
■ C•CURE 9000 Client only.
■ C• CURE 9000 Integrations and Services - see Chapter 4.
To install C•CURE 9000, run the Setup file from the Unified Installer DVD. Once you have
selected the Software House file on the Unified Install Dashboard Welcome screen (see
Figure 3-1 on page 3-6) and clicked Next, you can perform the basic installation process
described in the following pages separately on each computer in your C•CURE 9000 security
system. Be sure to close all C•CURE 9000 and anti-virus applications on client workstations
before beginning the installation.
Table 3-1 lists the steps to install and register the C•CURE 9000 software on each computer in
your security system. Perform these steps in order.
Table 3.1: Standard Installation Tasks
Task
1 Check that victor Application Servers and C•CURE Clients have the correct hardware and software, and have
sufficient disk space.
Refer to the current C•CURE 9000 data sheet for the minimum hardware and software requirements for the
Server and Clients.
2 Be sure to install either SOL Server 2008 R2 or SOL Server 2012 Standard or Enterprise, or SOL Server 2014
Express. Standard, or Enterprise Edition database software on a remote or local server If you are not planning on
having C•CURE 9000 install SOL Server 2014 Express.
Consult your database administrator for more information.
3 If you are upgrading from an earlier version of C•CURE 9000, see Chapter 5 for complete upgrade instructions.
4 Close any open applications and disable virus-checking software.
5 Start the C•CURE 9000 installation program.
See "Beginning the C•CURE 9000 Installation" on page 3-6.
6 Specify whether you are Installing Server and Client software together or only the Client software.
Install the Server first, and then install the Client. Software versions must be the same for both.
See the appropriate section(s):
• 'Installing victor Application Server and C•CURE 9000 Client on page 3-8
• 'Installing a C•CURE 9000 Client Only' on page 3-19
7 If you install Server software, register the software.

EFTA01226518
Steps to Install C•CURE 9000 Software
Installation Preparation
The following pages provide instructions for installing the software on the Server and each
Client in your security system. If you are installing the Server and Client software on different
computers, install the software on the Server first.
Check the installation sequence before installing the software. For additional
information about pre-installation tasks, see Chapter 2 and the hardware,
software, and disk space requirements in the current C• CURE 9000 data sheet.
Checking Network Status
If you are installing C• CURE 9000 on a corporate network, be sure to coordinate with your
corporate network administrator. Check that the network is working properly before you
install C•CURE 9000.
Checking System Privileges
To perform the installation, you must have appropriate Windows permissions. You must be in
the local Administrators group, or have equivalent privileges. (Software House recommends
using a domain account) See the Microsoft online Help or your system administrator for
information.
If you do not have sufficient permissions, you cannot finish the complete installation and you
will receive an error message.
Database Installation
The victor Application Server requires connectivity to a local or remote database server. You
must install SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012, or 2014 Standard, Enterprise, or Express Edition.
The Windows user account performing the installation must have sufficient privileges on SQL
Server Standard, Enterprise, or Remote Editions. This can be achieved most easily by giving
that user account the sysadmin role. See "SQL Server Database Permissions" on page 3-4.
SQL Server Database Permissions
NOTE Typically, the following applies only to full SQL Server or remote SQL
Server, not to SQL Server Express.
Only two Windows user accounts normally need permissions to SQL Server databases:
■ Account used to do the installation.
■ Account used to run the Crossfire Framework Services.
Installation - To create the C•CURE 9000 databases, the Windows user account performing
the installation must have sufficient privileges on the SQL Server. Giving that account the
sysadmin role accomplishes this. After the initial install, when performing repairs or
upgrades, you can reduce the privileges to that of the db_owner database role to each of the
3-4 C•CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide
EFTA01226519
Steps to Install C•CURE 9000 Software
following databases: ACVSCore, SWHSystemAudit and SWHSystemJoumal. The preceding is
required because the initial install must create these databases, while later installs need full
access to these databases to update them.
Crossfire Framework Services - All other access to the SQL Server is done through the
Windows user account that runs the Crossfire services. (Windows accounts used to access the
C•CURE 9000 client do not need SQL permissions at all.) If you do not want this Crossfire
service account to have sysadmin privileges within SQL Server, you can set up the
permissions in one of the two following ways:
NOTE • Software House strongly recommends that you use the first method.
Only experienced SQL Server Administrators who absolutely require
running with minimum privileges should use the second method.
• Whichever method you use, you must ensure that access to the Master
database is not restricted. The Crossfire service account requires at
least Read Access to this database.
1. Method one - Give this user db_owner role for all three databases.
2. Method two- Give this user the following privileges:
• For SWHSYSTEMAUDIT and SWHSYSYTEMJOURNAL - db_owner role.
• For ACVSCore, the following roles:
- db_datareader
- db_datawriter
- db_backupoperator
- db_ddladmin
• In addition, the following script is necessary to allow this user to execute stored
procedures:

Beginning the C•CURE 9000 Installation
You can install C• CURE 9000 to a local computer drive from a local dual-layer DVD or shared
drive over the network. (Software House recommends copying to the local computer for better
performance.)
To Install C•CURE 9000 to a Local Computer or over the Network
1. Log into the Server or Client with Windows administration privileges. See "Checking
System Privileges" on page 3-4 for information.
2. Insert the Unified Installer dual-layer DVD into the system drive.
Insert the Unified Installer dual-layer DVD into the shared drive on another computer,
and from your system, map a share to the shared DVD drive over the network.
NOTE For information about sharing DVD drives, refer to your Microsoft
documentation or see your system administrator.
3. Double-click Setup.exe. The Setup checks to see if the system meets certain requirements.
• If it detects an unsupported operating system, an error message displays saying
Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 are minimum requirement and to upgrade. The
setup then exits.
• If Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 is not yet on the system, a message notifies you.
Click Yes to install .NET.
NOTE Certain prerequisite applications may require you to restart the computer.
In that case, you will be prompted to restart only after the entire
installation (of the Server and Client, for example) is completed.
If the minimum requirements are met, the Unified Install Dashboard Welcome screen
appears, as shown in Figure 3-1 on page 3.6.

If a file was inadvertently deleted or a registry setting was changed or removed, you could
run the C•CURE 9000 installation in repair mode and automatically re-install the files on
your system.
The repair mode compares what is actually installed on the computer to what is supposed to
be installed and restores the files and registry entries to their previous state, should corrupted
or missing files be detected.
NOTE You can perform a repair in either of the following ways:
■ From Windows Program and Features - see the following procedure.
Be aware that you can repair the Server and Client in any order, but

C•CURE 9000 Integrations and Services Overview
The Unified Installer allows you to install the following:
• C•CURE 9000 Web Client "Installing C•CURE 9000 Web Client" on page 4-2.
• C•CURE Go Web Service "Installing C•CURE Go Web Service" on page 4-2.
• victor Web Service "Installing victor Web Service" on page 4-2
• C•CURE 9000 Client Auto-Update "Installing C•CURE 9000 Client Auto-Update and
• C•CURE 9000 Language Pack C•CURE 9000 Language Pack" on page 4-3.
The first three items —C• CURE 9000 Web Client, C•CURE Go Web Service, and victor Web
Service— do not require C•CURE 9000 to be on the same computer. You must install the last
two—C•CURE 9000 Client Auto-Update and C•CURE 9000 Language Pack —on a computer
that already has C•CURE 9000 installed.
Installing C•CURE 9000 Web Client
You can install C• CURE 9000 Web Client on the victor Application Server or an IIS Server in
the network that can communicate with victor Application Server.
Installing C•CURE Go Web Service
You can install C• CURE 9000 Go Web Service in the following three ways:
• On a computer with victor Application Server, C• CURE 9000 Client, and ILS Server all on
the same system.
• On an IIS Server in your network that can communicate with the victor Application Server
and C•CURE 9000 Client together on another system.
• On an IIS Server in your network that can communicate with the victor Application Server
on a second system and with the C•CURE 9000 Client(s) on one or more other systems.
NOTE The C•CURE 9000 Go Web Service is not supported on a MAS and the
C• CURE 9000 MAS license does not allow it.
Installing victor Web Service
You can install the victor Web Service on your victor Application Server or on an ILS Server in
your network that can communicate with your victor Application Server.
The victor Web Service is enabled by default to be installed because it is used as the basis for
any partner-developed web-based integrations with C• CURE 9000. You can clear the victor
Web Service check box on the Integrations and Services screen if you do not wish to install the
victor Web Service at this time.

You can choose either:
• Use the Local System account - If you are installing on the same system as the C•CURE 9000
server, you can use the local system account.
• Use Windows authentication credentials - if you are installing on an IIS server that is not
the C•CURE 9000 server, you will need to fill in a Windows Domain account and
password of a valid C• CURE 9000 or victor Operator, as well as identify the C•CURE
9000 server that the victor Web Service will be using, by entering either the server's
Domain name or it IP address.
Click Install to proceed with the C•CURE 9000 installation.
Installing C•CURE 9000 Client Auto-Update and C•CURE 9000 Language Pack
Before you install either Client Auto-Update or the Language Pack, you must install victor
Application Server and C•CURE 9000 Client on the computer. In addition, you must install

Client Auto-Update Utility
Client Auto-Update Utility
The Client Auto-Update Utility allows you to upgrade your remote clients automatically
without having to physically upgrade each client separately.
When you open the Unified Installer Setup.exe file on a computer that already has C•CURE
9000 installed, the Installation setup program allows you to Configure Auto-Update.
Installing Client Auto-Update copies the update for remote clients to your Server's automatic
distribution location. The installation also gives you an opportunity to select when you want
the automatic update to occur. Once the date is selected, the installation program copies the
update.exe and manifestxml to the Server's AutoUpdate distribution location.
NOTE ■ To use Client Auto-Update to upgrade your clients to C•CURE 9000
v2.50, your C•CURE 9000 system must be at version 2.30 or higher.
■ The Auto-Update Configuration utility should only be run on the
Server computer and only if the system is using Auto-Update
functionality for Remote Clients.
■ Before you use Auto-Update to update remote clients to a new
version, you must perform an upgrade of the C•CURE 9000 system
victor Application Server to the new version. If you attempt to update
the Clients first, the resulting version mismatch will render the Client
applications inoperable.
■ Auto-Update does not update clients with new versions of Connected
Program Kit products. Client updates/installs for these products
must be performed manually at the client.
NOTE You must install Microsoft IIS (version 7.5 or 8, depending on the version
of your Windows operating system) on your victor Application Server if
the system is using Auto-Update functionality for remote clients. (You
must install IIS before you install Auto-Update.) For more information see
"Configuring IIS on Windows Server Operating Systems" on page 2-21.
Installing/Configuring Client Auto-Update
Once you have enabled/installed IIS, configured client privileges, and set and started the
Software House AutoUpdate Installer service, you can configure C•CURE 9000 Auto-Update
on the server using the following steps.
To Configure Client Auto-Update
1. Make sure that your C•CURE 9000 client is at version 2.20 or higher.
2. On a victor Application Server computer with C•CURE 9000 installed, follow Step 1
on page 4-4 through Step 3 on page 4-4.
3. On the Unified Install Platforms screen (see Figure 3-2 on page 3-7), click Integrations and

EFTA01226554
Over/kw of the Upgrade Process
Overview of the Upgrade Process
C•CURE 9000 version 2.50 supports direct upgrades only from the previous versions: 2.40,
2.30 R2, and 2.30.
NOTE If you try to upgrade to C•CURE 9000 version 2.50 from a version prior to
2.30, the Install program displays an error message and exits. You must
upgrade your application to version 2.30 and run the setup again.
When upgrading the C•CURE 9000 software, you must update all computers in the security
system. Update each computer in your C•CURE 9000 security system separately and
according to the order described in Table 5-1 on page 5-3.
■ Update all Servers before updating any Clients.
■ You must have administrative privileges for each computer running C•CURE 9000
software you want to upgrade.
NOTE If you are using any of the Connected Program Kit products (such as
Simplex 4100U or ONSSI), you should not upgrade to the next version of
C•CURE 9000 until you have obtained the updated version of the
'Connected' product. If you do upgrade C•CURE 9000, your Connected
Program Kit product will not work.
When the upgrade process begins, it checks the computer for an existing version of C•CURE
9000 and verifies that you have administrative privileges. If a C•CURE 9000 installed version
does not exist, or is the incorrect version, or you do not have sufficient permissions, the
installation program displays an error message and exits.
The upgrade process also checks that the system meets the minimum hardware, software, and
disk space requirements. If the computer does not meet these requirements, the upgrade
process displays a warning message and you can continue the update.
NOTE Before starting the upgrade process, back up your system and have a valid
C•CURE 9000 license for v2.50. After the upgrade process finishes, a
license screen displays for you to point to the encrypted license file
received via email. For information about licensing, see Chapter 8.
Upgrading Your SQL Server Version
You may have been running your previous version of C•CURE 9000 with SQL Server 2008 R2
or SQL Server 2012 —either Express, Standard, or Enterprise Edition. You can run your
upgraded C•CURE 9000 2.50 with SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 201Z or SQL Server 2014.
Software House recommends the following upgrade procedure.
To Upgrade SQL Server
1. Open your C•CURE 9000 software.
2. Click Options & Tools>System Backup and back up all the databases (SWHSystem with
ACVSCore, SWHSystemAudit, SWHSystemJoumal).
5-2 C•CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide
EFTA01226555
Steps to Upgrade the C•CURE 9000 Software
3. Close all C•CURE 9000 applications on the server and every client and stop the Crossfire
service.
4. Upgrade SQL Server following Microsoft's instructions.
v=sg1.105).aspx
5. Upgrade your C• CURE 9000 software to version 2.50, as detailed in the rest of this
chapter.
6. Start the C•CURE 9000 system to ensure that everything is stable.
Steps to Upgrade the C•CURE 9000 Software
You must have a license for the new version of C•CURE 9000 before updating the software.
When you update to a later software version, only the computer on which you run the update
is changed. Update the server computer first, then all of the client computers. Otherwise, the
client computers will not be able to communicate with the server.
Before updating from a previous version, you must shut down C• CURE 9000. Software House
strongly recommends that you make a backup of all databases before you shut down.
Table 5-1 on page 5-3 lists the steps to upgrade the C• CURE 9000 system. Perform these steps
in order.
Table 5-1: Process for Upgrading your C•CURE 9000 Security System
Step Task
1 Check the hardware, software, and disk space requirements and upgrade your system to v2.20 at least, if needed.
2 Obtain a new valid license from Software House for your C•CURE 9000 v2.50 upgrade.
3 Before beginning the upgrade process, perform a Full System Backup of all CCURE 9000 databases (SWHSystem
with ACVSCore, SWHSystemAudit, and SWHSystemJoumal) using Options A Tools>System Backup. For
instructions, see the C•CURE 9000 System Maintenance Guide.
4 If the C•CURE Administration, Monitoring Station, or Server Configuration applications are open, close them.
5 Close any other open applications and disable virus-checking software.
6 Update to the appropriate version of Windows and Install both the correct Service Packs and Windows updates.
7 Start the C•Ct1RE 9000 installation/upgrade program. See •Upgrading C•CURE 9000• on page 5-5.
8 When the Upgrade is completed, validate the license for your upgraded C•CURE 9000 server software.
9 Start the Services that you will use on your C•CURE 9000 Server using Start>All Programs>Tyco>Server
Configuration. See •Starting C•CURE 9000 Services/Server Components' on page 3-22.
10 Start the C•CURE 9000 Administration Client or Monitoring Station Client software to begin using Version 2.50 of
C•CURE 9000.
When you start C•CURE 9000 after upgrading from an earlier version of C•CURE 9000. your server automatically
updates your existing C•CURE 9000 database to communicate properly with the new database parameters. You
may experience a delay until this process is completed. The duration of this delay can vary and depends on the
existing database size.

Installing a Master Application
Server
This chapter explains how to perform a new installation of C•CURE 9000 software to create a
Master Application Server (MAS) for the Enterprise Architecture option. In addition, although
upgrading a MAS is mainly covered in Chapter 5, the section"Upgrading a MAS" on
page 6-14 provides some important pointers about a MAS upgrade.
The installation or upgrade of a MAS should be performed by either Software
House Professional Services or by an Enterprise Architecture Certified
Integrator.
NOTE If you are performing an Enterprise upgrade by upgrading the MAS and all
SAS systems connected to it, you should read the section on Multi-version
Support to see if you can take advantage of the Multi-version feature during
the upgrade process. Multi-version allows you to keep your MAS in contact
with both the upgraded SAS systems, and SAS systems that have not yet been
upgraded. See "Multi-version Support" on page 6-14, and the C•CURE 9000
Enterprise Architecture Guide for more information.
See the C•CURE 9000 Release Notes for the upgrade version to determine the
previous versions that are supported for Multi-version support in a given
release.
For an overview of the Enterprise Architecture option and the MAS see the C•CURE 9000

Installation Guidelines for a Master Application Server
Installation Guidelines for a Master Application Server
When installing C• CURE 9000 Master Application Server, you should observe the following
guidelines:
■ Be sure to read Chapter 1 for general information and Chapter 2 for pre-installation tasks.
■ Before installing the software on a system, check that the system has sufficient free space
to run the setup program and meets the minimum hardware and software requirements
listed in the current C•CURE 9000 data sheet. The installation program checks that the
system meets the minimum hardware, software, and disk space requirements. If the
computer does not meet these requirements, the system displays a warning message. You
can continue the installation, but functionality may be affected.
■ All workstations in the security system must be running the correct version of the
Windows operating system and have the correct Service Packs, as listed in the current
C•CURE 9000 data sheet.
■ You cannot upgrade an existing standalone Server to a version 2.50 MAS. A MAS install
must be a new install of C•CURE 9000 or an upgrade of a prior version MAS.
■ Install the MAS server in your C•CURE 9000 security system on a dedicated computer
prior to installing each SAS server and additional client systems.
■ You must have a valid system license for a Master Application Server to install and run
C• CURE 9000. Be sure you have the License Text File and the initial License File from
Software House (sent via email) for the C•CURE 9000 system and options.
■ The person who performs the C•CURE 9000 installation is automatically added as a
Global Operator in the C• CURE 9000 system. It is good practice to configure at least one
other C•CURE 9000 user as a Global Operator. Any user who tries to log into the C• CURE
9000 Administration Workstation or Monitoring Station without being configured as an
Operator is denied access. See the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration Guide for
information on Operators.
■ The MAS and each SAS have to be installed either on the same domain or on trusted
domains so they can communicate with each other.

EFTA01226565
MAS Installation Prerequisites
MAS Installation Prerequisites
The following requirements must be met for a successful MAS installation.
Table 6-1: MAS Installation Prerequisites
Prerequisite
❑ The system where the MAS software wig be installed must be a dedicated system on
a domain. The system should not host any other major applications.
❑ The system must have the following operating system:
• Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition SP1 or later (64-bit) or
Windows Server 201212012 R2 Standard (64-bit).
❑ It Is Important that the docks are synchronized between the MAS and the SASs. For
more information, see 'Synchronizing Time for Networked Computer? on page 2-4.
❑ The system must have one of the following database versions installed, or accessible
as a remote database (SQL Server Express is not supported as a MAS database):
• SQL 2008 Server R2 Standard or Enterprise Edition (64-bit), SQL Server 2012
Standard or Enterprise Edition (64-bit), or SQL Server 2014 Standard or
Enterprise Edition (64-bit).
❑ The Windows domain user account of the MAS installer must be a system
administrator for the system where the MAS will be installed. (This account you install
under must be a domain account. not a local computer account.)
❑ The Windows user account of the MAS installer must have been configured as a
SQL Administrator (sysadmin role). See "SQL Server Database Permissions for MAS
Installation' on page 6-4.
❑ The SQL Browser Service must be enabled and running. See 'Enable SQL Server
Browser Service" on page 2-19.
❑ You must have or obtain a MAS software license with the Application Server option
enabled.

EFTA01226566
SQL Server Database Permissions for MAS Installation
SQL Server Database Permissions for MAS Installation
The MAS installer must be configured as a SQL Server user on the MAS SQL Server 2008 R2/
SQL Server 2012/SQL Server 2014 database with the sysadmin role in order to successfully
complete a MAS installation. This is necessary because actions that affect the MAS database
are performed by the C•CURE 9000 installation program in the installer's name during MAS
installation.
Configuring the MAS Installer on the MAS SQL Server Database
The person who installs C•CURE 9000 on your MAS must have specific database roles
configured in the SQL Server installation on the MAS system, so that the C•CURE 9000
installation program can authenticate and communicate with the MAS SQL Server databases.
Perform the following steps to configure access to the MAS SQL Server database.
Nam ■ If the person planning to install the MAS also installed SQL Server 2008
R2/SQL Server 2012/SQL Server 2014, he/she will already be configured
as a sysadmin and the following procedure need not be performed.
■ Do not enable the SQL Server Reporting services unless you plan to
configure and use these services.
To Configure MAS Installer in SQL Server 2008 R2/SQL Server 2012/SQL Server 2014
1. On the MAS system, using a SQL Server account with the sysadmin Server Role enabled,
select Start>AII Programs>Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2/SQL Server 201W
SQL Server 2014>SQL Server Management Studio.
2. In the Object Explorer pane on the left, navigate to Security>Logins, right-click, and
choose New Login from the context menu.
3. On the Login - New screen:
a. Configure the MAS installer login as [domainnamej\loginname.
b. In the upper-left pane Select a page, click Server Roles and then select the sysadmin
check-box from the Server roles list on the right.
4. Click OK to save your changes.

Installation Preparation
Installation Preparation
The following pages provide instructions for installing the MAS software on the Server and
each Client in your security system. If you are installing the Server and Client software on
different computers, install the software on the Server first.
Check the installation sequence before installing the software. For additional
information about pre-installation tasks, see Chapter 2 and the hardware,
O
software, and disk space requirements in the current C•CURE 9000 data sheet.
Checking Network Status
The MAS system must be on a domain. If you are installing C•CURE 9000 on a corporate
network, be sure to coordinate with your corporate network administrator. Check that the
network is working properly before you install C•CURE 9000.
Installing from a Shared Network DVD Drive
If you are installing C•CURE 9000 using a shared DVD drive on your network:
1. Log into your system with the appropriate Windows privileges. For information, see
"MAS Installation Prerequisites" on page 6-3.
2. Insert the Unified Installer dual-layer DVD into the shared drive on another computer.
3. From your system, use the Windows Map Network Drive function to mount the shared
DVD drive over the network.
NOTE For information about sharing DVD drives, refer to your Microsoft
documentation or see your system administrator.
4. Access the DVD drive using Windows Explorer and double-click Setup.exe on the DVD.
Checking System Privileges
To perform the installation, you must have appropriate Windows permissions. You must use
a domain account that is in the local Administrators group, or have equivalent privileges. See
the Microsoft online Help or your system administrator for information.
If you do not have sufficient permissions, you cannot finish the complete installation and you
will receive an error message.
Database Installation
The C• CURE 9000 server requires connectivity to a local or remote SQL Server 2008 R2/SQL
Server 2012/SQL Server 2014 database. You must install SQL Server 2008 R2/SQL Server
2012/SQL Server 2014 Standard or Enterprise Edition.

You have to start the following two C•CURE 9000 Services once you have finished installing
C•CURE 9000 for the first time (and have validated the license):
■ CrossFire Framework Service
■ CrossFire Server Component Framework Service
You cannot start any of the other drivers on a MAS. Because you cannot connect controllers or
video equipment to the MAS, C•CURE 9000 hardware drivers must be disabled on this
system.
NOTE There are two exceptions to the preceding rule: you can start the Import
Watcher and/or the Report Server (which you need if you plan to perform
imports or run reports on the Server).
Once a service is enabled, it starts automatically when the server computer starts up; you can
manually stop it, but it will still autostart at startup.

Upgrading a MAS
Upgrading a MAS
When you are upgrading your MAS and SAS systems, you must first upgrade the MAS and
then upgrade the SAS systems to the same version.
For basic upgrade information and procedures, see "Steps to Upgrade the C•CURE 9000
Software" on page 5-3, including Table 5-1 on page 5-3, and "Upgrading C•CURE 9000" on
page 5-5. Be sure, however, to follow the instructions in this section.
■ A status message particular only to MAS and SAS systems displays on the Installing
C •CURE 9000 screen during the MAS upgrade, warning that it may take a long time for
the re-provisioning process to be completed— although this usually proceeds quickly.
■ However, the first time you run each SAS after upgrading your Enterprise system, the SAS
has to synchronize with the MAS—which does take a long time.
Consequently, if you are upgrading a MAS and multiple SASes, Software House
recommends that you upgrade one SAS at a time and the wait until the upgraded SAS
synchronizes with its upgraded MAS before moving on to the next SAS.
Multi-version Support
The Multi-version support feature allows you to maintain certain connections and
synchronization between an upgraded MAS and the SAS systems that have not yet been
upgraded. This feature provides a temporary solution during the upgrade period for sites
with multiple SAS systems that can take substantial time to fully upgrade.
If an Enterprise currently has a MAS at one version and SAS systems with differing versions,
it is necessary to upgrade all SAS systems to be at the same version as the MAS before
beginning to upgrade the MAS to take advantage of Multi-version support.
After you upgrade the MAS (and all the MAS-connected client systems), you can proceed to
upgrade your SAS systems (and all of the SAS-connected client systems). During this process,
all the SAS systems can participate in the Enterprise, within version-specific limitations.
See the C•CURE 9000 Release Notes for the upgrade version to determine the previous versions
that are supported for Multi-version support in a given release.
See the C•CURE 9000 Enterprise Architecture Guide for more details on Multi-version Support.

Installing a Satellite Application
Server
This chapter explains how to perform a new installation of C•CURE 9000 software on a
Satellite Application Server (SAS) and on a Client workstation. In addition, although
upgrading a SAS is mainly covered in Chapter 5, "Upgrading C• CURE 9000 Software", the
section"Upgrading a SAS" on page 7-14 provides some important pointers about a SAS
upgrade. To migrate a prior version C• CURE 9000 server to a SAS, you must first upgrade the
server to the current version of C•CURE 9000. (For information on migrating a current-
version C•CURE 9000 server to a SAS, see the C•CURE 9000 Standalone to SAS Migration
Utility User Guide.)
The installation or upgrade of a SAS should be performed by either Software
0 House Professional Services or by an Enterprise Architecture Certified
Integrator.
For an overview of the Enterprise Architecture option and the SAS see the C•CURE 9000

Installation Guidelines for a Satellite Application Server
Installation Guidelines for a Satellite Application Server
When installing a Satellite Application Server, you should observe the following guidelines:
You must perform a backup of the MAS databases prior to each installation of
0 a new SAS system. You must have this backup available when you add
another SAS system, because a MAS database crash (such as a power outage)
during a SAS installation could potentially cause irreparable damage to the
MAS.
There is no way to point an existing SAS at a new MAS. Consequently, it is
critical to perform a system backup of the MAS and SAS after each new SAS is
added.
■ Be sure to read Chapter 1, "C• CURE 9000 Overview" for general information and
Chapter 2, "Setting Up Software and Hardware" for pre-installation tasks.
■ Before installing the software on a system, check that the system has sufficient free space
to run the setup program and meets the minimum hardware, software, and disk space
requirements listed in the current C•CURE 9000 data sheet. The installation program
checks that the system meets the minimum requirements. If the computer does not meet
these requirements, the system displays a warning message.
■ All workstations in the security system must be running the correct version of the
Windows operating system and have the correct Service Packs as listed in the current
C•CURE 9000 data sheet.
■ When installing a C•CURE 9000 SAS, you must initially install the C•CURE 9000 SAS
Server on a dedicated computer before installing C•CURE 9000 on Client computers.
■ If you are performing a repair install on a SAS, the MAS must be up and running or the
installation fails. You will receive an error message that it could not connect to the MAS
[servemamel.
■ Install each computer in your C•CURE 9000 security system separately, according to the
order described in Table 7-2 on page 7-8.
■ You must have a valid system license to install and run C•CURE 9000. Be sure you have
the License Text File and the initial License File from Software House (sent via email) for
the C•CURE 9000 system and options.
■ The person who performs the C• CURE 9000 installation must be a Global Operator on the
MAS. It is good practice to configure at least one other C• CURE 9000 user as an Operator
in the C•CURE 9000 system after completing the installation. (All Global Operators are
automatically replicated to the SAS when it is started.) Any user who tries to log into the
C• CURE 9000 Administration Workstation or Monitoring Station without being
configured as an Operator is denied access. See the C•CURE 9000 Software Configuration
Guide for information on Operators.
■ The MAS and each SAS have to be installed either on the same domain or on trusted
domains so they can communicate with each other.
If both the IP address and the machine name of a SAS or MAS change at the
same time, C• CURE 9000 will not automatically recognize that this is the same
O
computer. However, you can run a repair install to fix the problem.

SQL Server Database Permissions for SAS Installation
SQL Server Database Permissions for SAS Installation
The following typically applies only to full/remote SQL Server, not to SQL Server Express.
Only two Windows user accounts normally need permissions to SQL Server databases:
■ Account used to do the installation.
■ Account used to run the Crossfire Framework Services.
Installation - To create the C•CURE 9000 databases, the Windows user account performing
the installation must have sufficient privileges on the SQL Server. Giving that account the
sysadmin role accomplishes this. After the initial install, when performing repairs or
upgrades, you can reduce the privileges to that of the db_owner database role to each of the
following databases: ACVSCore, SWHSystem, SWHSystemAudit and SWHSystemJournal.
The preceding is required because the initial install must create these databases, while later
installs need full access to the four databases to update them.
Software House Crossfire Framework Services - All other access to the SQL Server is done
through the Windows user account that runs the Crossfire services. (Windows accounts used
to access the C•CURE 9000 client do not need SQL permissions at all.) If you do not want this
CrossFire server account to have sysadmin privileges within SQL Server, you can set up the
permissions in either of the following two ways:
NOTE ■ Software House strongly recommends that you use the first method.
Only experienced SQL Server Administrators who absolutely require
running with minimum privileges should use the second method.
■ Whichever method you use, you must ensure that access to the Master
database is not restricted. The Crossfire service account requires at
least Read Access to this database.
1. Method one - Give this user db_owner role for all four databases.
2. Method two - Give this user the following privileges:
• For SWHSYSTEMAUDIT and SWHSYSYTEMJOURNAL - db_owner role.
• For ACVSCore, the following roles:
- db_datareader
- db_datawriter
- db_backupoperator
- db_ddladmin
• The following script is also necessary to allow this user to execute stored procedures:
USE ACVSCORE
GRANT EXECUTE TO <USERNAME>
GO

SQL Server Database Permissions for SAS Installation
Configuring SQL Server Database Permissions for Services Account
The SAS services must be configured as a SQL Server user on the MAS and SAS databases
with the sysadmin role to successfully complete a SAS installation. This is necessary because
the login the crossfire services run under has to be a SQL Server operator login for the MAS.
The services account for the SAS must have specific database roles configured in the SQL
Server installation on the MAS system, so that the C• CURE 9000 can authenticate and
communicate with the MAS to configure a connection between the SAS and MAS SQL
databases.
If this services account is the same as the MAS services account, the correct permissions will
already exist. If a different services account is used for running the C•CURE 9000, perform the
following steps to configure access to the MAS SQL database.

Configuring the SAS Installer on the SAS SQL Server Database
The person who installs C•CURE 9000 on your SAS must have specific database roles
configured in the SQL Server installation on the SAS system, so that the C• CURE 9000
installation program can authenticate and communicate with the SAS SQL Server databases.
If the SAS installer also installed SQL Server 2008 R2/SQL Server 2012/SQL Server 2014, then
the installer will already be configured as a sysadmin and this procedure need not be
performed.
NOTE Do not enable the SQL Server Reporting services unless you plan to
configure and use these services.

the Server install or you can do it now after the Client install has also
completed. For licensing information, see Chapter 8, "Licensing C•CURE
9000".
Once a SAS is successfully licensed and installed, removing the SAS license
will prevent the SAS from being able to start. Consequently, there is no way
that a SAS can be changed back into a Standalone C•CURE 9000 system.
If the License is valid, a message displays 'License Information is correct."
3. Click OK and close the License Manager Application. A message then displays saying:
"The services have not been restarted to allow you to set up your system. Open the Server

After installing C•CURE 9000, you must run the Server Configuration Application
(Start>A11Programs>Tyco>Server Configuration) one time to start the CrossFire
Framework and CrossFire Server Component Framework Services. (You cannot access
C•CURE 9000 functions until you start these services.)
In addition, you need to enable and start the Extension Service (Hardware Driver) for each
type of controller, video, or network component that will be used on the server. (The
Extension Services [Drivers] are not automatically started by default because enabling
drivers for devices that are not used by the server can affect system performance.)
For information, see "Services/Server Components for C• CURE 9000" on page 3-21
and"Starting C•CURE 9000 Services/Server Components" on page 3-22.
4. Click Finish. An Installation Complete message displays.
5. Click OK. The Unified Install Dashboard closes.
If both the IP address and the machine name of a MAS or SAS change at the
same time, C•CURE 9000 will not automatically recognize that this is the same

computer. However, you can run a repair install to fix the problem.
C•CURE 9000 Installaaon and Upgrade Guido 7-13
EFTA01226590
Upgrading a SAS
Upgrading a SAS
When you are upgrading your MAS and SAS systems, you must first upgrade the MAS (and
its client systems) and then upgrade the SAS systems (and their client systems) to the same
version.
Then after the MAS has been upgraded, the MAS must be opened and running in order to
upgrade its SASes.
For basic upgrade information and procedures, see "Steps to Upgrade the C•CURE 9000
Software" on page 5-3, including Table 5-1 on page 5-3, and "Upgrading C•CURE 9000" on
page 5-5. Be sure, however, to follow the instructions in this section.
■ A status message particular only to MAS and SAS systems displays on the Installing
C •CURE 9000 screen during the SAS upgrade warning you that it may take a long time
for the re-provisioning process to be completed— although this usually proceeds quickly.
■ However, the first time you run each SAS after upgrading your Enterprise system, the SAS
has to synchronize with the MAS—which does take a long time.
Consequently, if you are upgrading a MAS and multiple SASes, Software House
recommends that you upgrade one SAS at a time, waiting until the upgraded SAS
synchronizes with its upgraded MAS before moving on to the next SAS.
Multi-version Support
The Multi-version support feature allows you to maintain certain connections and
synchronization between an upgraded MAS and the SAS systems that have not yet been
upgraded. This feature provides a temporary solution during the upgrade period for sites
with multiple SAS systems that can take substantial time to fully upgrade.
The MAS and every SAS must be running the same baseline version of C•CURE 9000 prior to
beginning the upgrade process, in order to take advantage of Multi-version support.
If an Enterprise currently has a MAS at one version and SAS systems with differing versions,
it is necessary to upgrade all SAS systems to be at the same version.
After you upgrade the MAS (and all the MAS-connected client systems), you can proceed to
upgrade your SAS systems (and all of the SAS-connected client systems). During this process,
all the SAS systems can participate in the Enterprise, within version-specific limitations.
The intention still is to proceed with upgrading every SAS to match the MAS version. The
difference is that until that point, all the SAS systems can participate in the Enterprise, within
version-specific limitations.
Example:
If a Global Operator on the MAS opens the Monitoring Station, and that Operator is
currently interactive with SAS systems that have been upgraded and some SAS systems
that have not been upgraded, separate Monitoring Station windows open:
• The current upgraded version of the Monitoring Stations is opened for upgraded SAS
systems that are interactive.
• The previous version of the Monitoring Station is opened for SAS systems that have not
been upgraded and are interactive.

EFTA01226591
Upgrading a SAS
See the C•CURE 9000 Release Notes for the upgrade version to determine the previous versions
that are supported for Multi-version support in a given release.
See the C•CURE 9000 Enterprise Architecture Guide for more details on Multi-version Support.
The following table summarizes the capabilities provided by Multi-version support.
Table 7-3: Multi-version Support Summary
Category Effects
Multi-version Server Synchronization is allowed to occur between the upgrade MAS and the
Synchronization previous version SAS. but data differences resulting from the upgrade are
not synchronized.
When the SAS is upgraded, the MAS and SAS re-synchronize to take
care of any data not previously synchronized.
Multi-version Client Support An upgraded client Monitoring Station can connect to a previous version
SAS by launching the previous version Monitoring Station as a separate
window.
A previous version client Monitoring Station cannot connect to an
upgraded SAS or MAS.
An upgraded Administration client cannot connect to a previous version
SAS.
A previous version Monitoring Station or Administration client can connect
to a previous version SAS, but will not be able to edit Global objects with
the exception of adding and removing Personnel Clearances.
Multi-version Integration Impact A previous version Integration that is not enterpdse-aware will continue to
operate with a previous version SAS, but not with an upgraded MAS or
SAS.
An upgraded Integration will only work correctly with an upgraded SAS,
because the Integration's Installer will not retain the previous version of
the integration to launch when communicating with a previous version
SAS.
See the C• CURE 9000 Enterprise Architecture Guide for more information about the specific
capabilities and restrictions of Multi-version support.

Licensing C•CURE 9000
To access C•CURE 9000 functions, you must activate a valid C•CURE 9000 software license.
Your software license reflects the specific model, system capacities, and options that you
purchased. You can activate the software license only after you install a victor Application
Server for C•CURE 9000.
This chapter describes the license requirements and how you activate and maintain your
C•CURE 9000 software license.
(For information on licensing the C• CURE 9000 SiteServer, see the License Process section in

Overview
Overview
The software license maps information about the computer designated as the victor
Application Server to information on file with Software House regarding the specific
C • CURE 9000 model, capacities, and options specified on your order. This combination
uniquely defines your C•CURE 9000 installation.
Software House provides a separate license manager application with C•CURE 9000 to
activate, validate, and maintain the software license. By default, the License Manager launches
automatically when you complete the installation process. You can open the License Manager
application again at any time after installation.
NOTE In the event that you need to repair your license, see the following section:
"Repairing Licensing in a System Crash" on page 8-21.
About C•CURE 9000 Licensing
After installing C•CURE 9000, you must activate a valid software license to be able to use
C•CURE 9000. You first activate a temporary license immediately after installation, followed
by a request for a permanent license.
A temporary license allows access to the functions and capacities specified in your order with
Software House for a limited time-60 days from the date when the license was created. If you
do not activate a permanent software license before your temporary license expires,
C•CURE 9000 functions become unavailable the next time the Server restarts. On any
computer, you can activate a temporary license only once.
0 Once you have a license, temporary or permanent, do not map a drive before
the system boot drive —doing so will invalidate your license. If the system
boot drive is C:, for example, do not map a drive as A: or B:. You can map it to
any drive after, such as D: through Z:.
Considerations for Licensing C•CURE 9000
C•CURE 9000 employs a licensing model that is different from the one used by the widely
installed C•CURE 800/8000 Access Control and Security Management system. Important
differences include the following:
■ C• CURE 9000 does not use the Sentinel hardware. Instead, the license process introduces
the encrypted License file that contains a Host ID to map your victor Application Server
C•CURE 9000 feature set to a specific computer.
■ A separate license application provided with C•CURE 9000 automatically generates the
information that Software House requires to register the unique combination of
C• CURE 9000 and your computer.
■ By default, the licensing process for C•CURE 9000 initiates automatically, immediately
following successful system installation.
License Scope
The C•CURE 9000 license covers:
8-2 C•CURE 9000 Installation and Upgrade Guide
EFTA01226595
Oven/law
■ Specific operating features and system capacities, including:
• System serial number, software version number, and model.
• Warranty/SSA expiration date and system expiration date.
• Online inputs, outputs, and readers.
• Simultaneous badging stations managed by the system.
• Number of cardholders managed by the system.
• Number of simultaneous Client computers that can access the victor Application Server
(includes Web clients).
The license defines these characteristics in terms of the maximum number allowed on the
security network at any time. Each C•CURE 9000 model specifies different quantities for
each of the features listed, and you have the option to buy additional capacity after your
initial purchase.
■ System Options purchased such as DSC Intrusion Integration and Simplex 4100U
Integration Licensing Elements.
The most important elements in the licensing process to be followed by the Integrator/
Installer are:
■ A separate License Manager application that lets you activate, validate, and manage the
C• CURE 9000 software license, as well as generate the XML file used for the software
registration.
■ Host ID - the unique identifier for your Server computer.
■ An encrypted license file with information about your order. You copy this file to a folder
on the Server computer and point to it during the licensing process. There is a temporary
license file and a permanent license file.
■ A License text file containing a description of your purchase and the unique License Code
(CC9xxxxxxxxxxxx) required to register online for the permanent license.
■ A generated XML file containing the system information necessary to register online for
the license.
■ Internet access to complete the C•CURE 9000 software registration and receive your
license file via email.
■ Valid login credential for the Software House web site required to access the Register a
Product page.
NOTE Access is not granted to profiles with the End User role, only to the
registered Integrator.

C•CURE 9000 Licensing Tasks
Licensing C•CURE 9000 is an interactive process involving an exchange of information
between Software House and the individual activating the C•CURE 9000 software license.
The steps you take when you are activating your C•CURE 9000 license vary depending on the
specific situation, whether it is for a new installation, an upgraded installation, or a
modification of your licensed options. All C•CURE 9000 functions are locked until you
activate a C•CURE 9000 license, as described in the task list that follows.
The tasks related to the various licensing situations are:
■ "Licensing a New C•CURE 9000 - Temporary to Permanent License" on page 8-10.
■ "Enabling and Disabling Your Current License Options" on page 8-14.
■ "Licensing a C•CURE 9000 Upgrading to Version 2.50" on page 8-15.
■ "Monitoring Your Current License" on page 8-16.
■ "Modifying Your Current License to Add Capacity/Options" on page 8-19.
■ "Modifying Your Current License to Evaluate an Option" on page 8-20.
■ "Repairing Licensing in a System Crash" on page 8-21.

Licensing a New C•CURE 9000 - Temporary to Permanent License
Licensing a New C•CURE 9000 — Temporary to Permanent License
This section describes how you license a new C•CURE 9000 installation by:
1. Obtaining and validating a temporary license.
2. Then obtaining and validating a permanent license.
Once you have purchased C•CURE 9000, you receive the following files via the e-mail address
you supplied:
■ An encrypted temporary license file.
■ A text file of the preceding encrypted license.
To Activate the Temporary License
The License Manager Application opens by default to the License Manager Unified tab after
you successfully install C•CURE 9000, as shown in the example for a brand new installation in
Figure 8-1 on page 84.
■ If the License application did not open by default, follow the steps in "Accessing the
License Manager Application" on page 84 to launch it.
1. Copy the temporary license file you received to the victor Application Server default
location as follows:
C:\ Program Files (x86)\ Tyco\ CrossFire\ License.
2. In the open License Manager Application on the Unified tab, click the Add new license
button below the License directory and License files fields, which display the default
license path and file name.
3. Navigate to the default License directory (named in Step 1)and double-click the temporary
license file, or select it and click Open.
The file is entered into the License files field.
If the license validates successfully, the Unified tab updates to display as shown in the
example in Figure 8-2 on page 8-4.
4. When the system displays the Valid License message, saying the license information is
correct, click OK.
If this is a standalone C•CURE 9000 installation without redundancy, a message then
displays "Restarting Services. Please be patientAthis may take a few minutes."
Then the Temporary License Granted screen, shown in Figure 84 on page 8-11, displays.

1. Contact Software House and request to evaluate a C•CURE 9000 option.
You will receive via email a new license file that contains the licensed feature with an
associated expiration date.
2. Repeat the license activation process, as described in "To Validate the Permanent
License." on page 8-12 to validate your evaluation license.
NOTE If you are evaluating SWH Connected Web Service Component as a new
option, after you have validated the new permanent license you must stop
and then restart IIS. (See the IIS documentation.)
The new option is added to your license, tagged with an expiration date, and you can use
it for that period of time.

Repairing Licensing in a System Crash
Repairing Licensing in a System Crash
In some situations, such as a hardware failure on the computer designated as the victor
Application Server, you may want to transfer C• CURE 9000 to another computer to keep your
site operational. However — because the C•CURE 9000 license maps to a specific computer,
you cannot use the same license file and Host ID to install C•CURE 9000 on another computer
under the same software license.
To Transfer C•CURE 9000 to Mother Computer
1. Locate your original C•CURE 9000 DVD and use it to install theC•CURE 9000 software on
a different Server computer.
2. Find the temporary license file emailed to you and repeat the licensing process described
in "Licensing a New C•CURE 9000 - Temporary to Permanent License" on page 8-10.

Install Logs
Install Logs
C•CURE 9000 automatically creates four logs during installation that show errors as well as
other relevant information:
■ UnifiedlnstallDashboard.log file- for installing the Unified Dashboard.
■ UnifiedServerInstall_[Date/Time].log file- for installing the victor Application Server.
■ DBManager_Deploy_UNIFIEDSERVER-[Date/Time].log file - for installing the database.
■ CCure9000ClientInstall_Pate/Time].log file - for installing the C•CURE 9000 Client.
Check the %TEMP% directory to help identify the cause of the installation problem. On
systems with UAC (such as Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
Windows 7), you may need to go up one level to get to the root of the Temp directory.
Example:
On Windows 7, %TEMP% typically defaults to
C:\ Users \ <usemame> AppData \ Local \Temp
In addition, Software House recommends reviewing the following logs:
■ Program Files (x86)\ Tyco\ CrossFire\ License\ logfile.txt
■ Windows Application and System logs for errors generated by the C• CURE and CrossFire
services.
