    - Install a remote client
      This information guides you through the process of installing a remote client on a different machine than the application server.
    - Configure multiple servers on a single machine
      After installing application server, you can configure a multiple server environment onto a single machine. This procedure demonstrates how to create two additional server instances; however, you can create as many instances as you require.
    - Revert multiple servers on a single machine back to a single server
      After configuring multiple servers on a single machine, you can return to your original single server environment.

      - Export server security certificates for an extension server
        After installing the main application server in a multiple server environment, you must export the server security certificates and install them on your extension servers. During the extension server installation process, you must import these security certificates.
      - Install Multiple Servers
        This application provides multiple server capability, allowing you to install the application server to host the core services on one machine and a Workflow server to host the Workflow services on another machine. You can also choose to install one or more User servers to host other product options that you may license and/or custom service providers that you develop.
    - One-click Deployment
      One-click deployment allows you to deploy Workflow to users without running a client installation on their computers. It also provides the ability for a client to update itself when the server is upgraded.
    - Command-line (Silent) Installation
      You can install the server, client, or hosts using command line parameters. You can also use this method to install multiple servers, ensuring that the same configuration data is used in all instances.
