Review the following installation considerations before installing Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows):

• The Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) installation package is available through a web download and from the product installation CD.

  Note: You can use Arcserve UDP for a trial period. At the end of the trial period, if you have not obtained a license, Arcserve UDP will automatically revert to a No Charge Edition (NCE) with limited capabilities.

• Verify that you have administrator privileges or the proper permissions to install software on the servers where you are installing Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows).
• If you uninstall and install a new Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) build and specify the same backup destination as the previous build, the first backup after the installation runs as a Verify backup.
• After installation, you can configure your antivirus software to exclude specific processes, folders, and files so that the antivirus software does not interfere with the proper operation of Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows). For a complete list of processes, folders, and files that should be excluded, see Antivirus Configuration.
