Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide provides an overview for installing and configuring Webroot® SME Security. For more detailed instructions, see the System Administrator Guide.
Planning the Installation
Before you begin installing Webroot SME Security, review the guidelines in this section.
Upgrade Support
If your company is currently running Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.1 and a supported MS SQL database (2000, 2005, or 2005 Express), you can upgrade to Webroot SME Security 3.1.5. However, if your company is running a version of Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise prior to 3.1 or a DBISAM database, see the following table for upgrade information. Also, if you are running older versions of the Spy Sweeper Clients, most of them are still supported, except for version 2.1.
If Your Company is Running ...
Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 or lower DBISAM database Webroot Spy Sweeper Clients 2.5.1, 3.0, or 3.1 Webroot Spy Sweeper Client 2.1
Follow These Steps ...
You must upgrade to Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.1 before you can install Webroot SME Security 3.1.5. Contact your Webroot Sales representative or Webroot Support for more information. The DBISAM database is no longer supported. See the System Administrator Guide for instructions. These previous versions of the Client are supported for older operating systems. You do not need to upgrade these clients unless you want to do so. This version is no longer supported. You must upgrade to the new Webroot Client or to one of the versions listed above.
Webroot Component Requirements
Before installing Webroot SME Security, review the requirements for the main components: Webroot Server, Webroot Clients, and Distributors.

Planning the Installation
Installing Components
Follow these steps to install the SQL database, the Webroot Server, Webroot Clients, and the Distributor.
Configuring a SQL Server Database
As a first step, you must install and configure either a SQL Server or SQL Server Express database. (Do not use the SQL Server Express version if you have a large number of distributors. For more information, see the System Administrator Guide.) See the following table for important database installation notes.
Database
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or 2005
Installation Notes
If you are using SQL Server 2000 or 2005 for your database, you must create the database before installing the Webroot Server. Make sure you have the user name and password available before installing the Webroot Server. In addition, you may also want to create a system data source name (DSN) if you experience problems connecting to the database. When you install the Webroot Server, the installer attempts to enable TCP/IP access and the correct authentication mode (mixed mode). If you have problems with the database configuration, refer to Webroot's Knowledge Base available from: http://webrootenterprise.supportportal.com/Portal/Home.aspx
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition (free download)
If you are using SQL Server 2005 Express for your database, you can either install it in advance or link to it from the Webroot SME Security installer to download and install it from there. You must also install Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, which can also be accessed from the Webroot Server installer. During the database installation, make sure you select Mixed Mode for the authentication mode.
If you have an existing Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.1 installation and a DBISAM database, see the System Administrator Guide for instructions. The DBISAM database is no longer supported.
Installing and Configuring the Webroot Server
Follow these instructions to install the following Server executables: · · · Client Service. Controls communications between the Webroot Server and Webroot Clients. Update Service. Controls updates from the Webroot Update Server. Admin Console. Provides a user interface for administering Webroot SME Security.
(When installing the Webroot Server on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, you may receive various errors and the installation may fail. To resolve installation problems see the System Administrator's Guide.) The following table provides important information required during Webroot Server installation.
Required Information for Webroot Server Installation
Database Connection In the Database Connection Information screen, you must enter the following information about your SQL database: · SQL Server Name · Instance Name · Database Name · SQL User Name · Password You will use either MS SQL Server or SQL Server Express. You need the above information regardless of which version of MS SQL Server you are using. In the Company Information screen, you must enter your unique Key Code. If you purchased Webroot SME Security through a sales representative or online, you received your Key Code in an e-mail message. You can copy the Key Code from the message and paste it in. If you purchased Webroot SME Security from a store or received it already installed on your new computer, the Key Code is on the product packaging.

Required Information for Webroot Server Installation (Continued)
User Name and Password In the Default Admin Account screen, you will create a user name and password to access the Admin Console. Make sure you write down this name and password and keep it somewhere safe. If you use a proxy server to access the Internet, you must enter your proxy server name or IP address and the port number in the Proxy Settings screen. If your proxy server requires authentication, you must enter the server's user name and password. In the Email Settings screen, you can enter the following information for e-mail notifications: · Host name: fully qualified domain name for your e-mail server (SMTP server) used for outgoing mail. · From address: the e-mail address that notification messages will come from. · SMTP login: the user name and password (if your SMTP server requires a login). In the Server Settings screen, you must specify the IP address or host name that the client workstations will use to communicate with your company server. For IP resolution, use the IP address of the network interface card (NIC) visible to client workstations. For host name resolution, select or enter the fully qualified domain name of your server (requires a properly configured DNS environment). You must also specify the port on your company server that the Client Service will use to communicate with your client workstations. The default port is 50000. Be sure that the port you use is not used by another process. In the Service Credentials screen, you can enter a user name and password for your domain, which is necessary if you want to install the Webroot Client on workstations from the Admin Console.

Installing Components
If SQL Server 2000 or 2005 is installed: The Database Connection windows opens. Skip to step 7 for entering database connection information. If no database is installed: The Prerequisites window opens with links to download and install SQL Server Express and .NET 2.0. (Installing .NET 2.0 is required only if you are using SQL Server Express.) If you want to install SQL Server Express or .NET 2.0, click the links provided, download the files, and follow the installation wizards. Be sure to remember the database name, user name, and password you set during the SQL Server Express installation. You will need this information when you continue with the installation of the Webroot Server. When you install SQL Server Express, you can accept all the default values during the installation. However, you must select the Mixed Mode option in the Authentication Mode window.
After you make these changes, the Database Connection window opens. If SQL Server Express is installed: The SQL Server Express Settings window opens, indicating that Setup has detected SQL Server Express on your system, but that some settings are incorrect.
