Note that our update information and Tech Info files are also part of the documentation. They may contain details about our products that have not yet made it into the manual. So, make it a habit to read the update info texts whenever you install updates, and to read the Tech Info files regularly. For that purpose, check the folders "updates" and "support" on the current CD-ROM, or the support section on our web site.
If available, read the product-specific "README" files. You will find these files after the software installation in "HELIOSDIR/public/ReadMe". See
4.7 "After the installation - What now?" for more detailed information.
For detailed information on all our products, you may check the "manuals" directory on the CD-ROM and the "Documentation" folder in the "HELIOS Applications" (Macintosh)/"HELIOS_APPS" (Windows) volume. It contains all manuals, data sheets, and brochures of our products in PDF format. HELIOS manuals can also be read on-line on the HELIOS web site.
This manual contains three main parts, namely:
- Software installation on the server
- HELIOS services
- Additional information
