Step 4: Install SL-NX Software Components
4.2 Authentication and Accounting Manager Installation
3.3 Secure Print Manager Database
The SPM database provides storage for transactional print job data. When a user prints a document to an SPM Server the details of that job (spool folder location, job name, username, job details, time received, etc.) are written to the database. If a user releases the job, the audit data of the job is uploaded to the AAM Database and the local copy deleted. If the job expires, and is deleted, the job data is also deleted.
Important:
• The supported SQL Server must be installed and set up.
• You can specify a database on a server other than the one with SPM installed.
• Also see Appendix A: Installation Restrictions.
To create the SPM Database, proceed as follows:
1. On SQL Server, launch SL-NX, if necessary.
2. Click [Secure Print Manager].
3. Click [Create DataBase].
4. Type “1”, and then press [Enter].
5. Type instance name, and press [Enter], or press [Enter] to apply default instance value:
StreamlineNX.
Note:
• Either Default Instance or Named Instance can be used.
6. Type database name, and press [Enter], or press [Enter] to apply default database name:
SPM.
7. Press any key to continue.
8. Click [Close].
Creation of Secure Print Manager database is complete! Please continue with creation of RG Database...
Note:
• If you prefer to install SPM software next, go to 4.4 Secure Print Manager Installation.
3.4 Report Generator Database
The RG Database provides storage for consolidated reporting data collected from all AAM and ADM Databases, allowing reports to be generated that span the entire solution.
Important:
• The supported SQL Server must be installed and set up.
• RG requires SQL Server Agent service to be running on ADM and AAM Database Servers.
• To install RG, you must have Administrator rights, which means you must belong to the Administrator’s group.
• When using SQL Server 2012 Express Edition, the following rules apply:
− RG Server and RG Database must be on the same physical server.
− Before the installation of RG, Microsoft Windows scheduler service should be running.
− RG services require Administrator rights in order to configure the Windows scheduler service.
• For SL-NX v2.2 or later, RG can use the same database instance as ADM/AAM/SPM database. It is strongly recommended to use the same database instance between RG and ADM/AAM/SPM.
• A remote database cannot be used for Report Generator. The RG component and the database must be installed on the same server. If running in a VM environment, this means running on the same VMware machine.
• If AAM, ADM and RG Databases are installed onto different servers, it is recommended to ensure stable connectivity between the RG Database instance and the AAM/ADM Database instance(s) by using a tool like DTCtester before installation (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293799/en-us).
• Also see Appendix A: Installation Restrictions.
To create the RG Database, proceed as follows:
1. On SQL Server, launch SL-NX, if necessary.
2. Click [Report Generator].
3. Click [Create DataBase].
4. Type “1” and press [Enter].
5. Type instance name, and press [Enter], or press [Enter] to apply default instance value:
StreamlineNX.
6. Type database name, and press [Enter], or press [Enter] to apply default database name:
RG.
7. Press any key to continue…
8. Click [Close].
Creation of ADM, AAM, SPM and RG Databases is complete! Please continue with Step 4…
Note:
• If you prefer to install RG software next, go to 4.5 Report Generator Installation.
Step 4: Install SL-NX Software Components
In this step, you will install the five SL-NX components – ADM, AAM, SFM, SPM and RG. The SL-NX Installation Launcher makes it each to install, with a setup wizard provided for each application.
Note:
• With SL-NX, there can be only one ADM Server and one RG Server, though multiple AAM, SFM and SPM Servers can be deployed. If installing multiple AAM, SFM and/or SPM Servers, repeat the software install procedures for that component on another server.
Important:
• To install SL-NX software, you must have local Administrator rights.
• If UAC is enabled, “Run as Administrator” must be used; right-click .exe file, and then click “Run as Administrator.”
4.1 Administration Manager Installation
The ADM software component enables the Administrator to establish system settings, register and configure devices and servers, manage print jobs and logs, as well as access administration tools within Authentication & Accounting Manager, Secure Print Manager and Scan & Print Manager.
Important:
• After all components are installed you must activate the Administration Manager software and obtain a license code in order to use this component.
• Also see Appendix A: Installation Restrictions.
If the SQL Server has been installed, and the ADM Database has been created, proceed as follows:
1. Launch SL-NX, and then click [ Administra-tion Manager].
2. Click [Administration Manager (64 bit)].
Note:
• If the installer is launched on a 32-bit
Operating System, “Administration Manager (64 bit)” is not enabled.
3. Select English, and then click [OK].
4. On Welcome screen, click [Next].
5. Read Licensing Agreement, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click [Next].

6. Confirm Default Path to installation folder, and then click [Next].
Note:
• To change path, click [Browse].
• In the following cases, an error message will appear:
− You specify an installation folder in which files or folders already exist.
− Path exceeds 90 characters or includes invalid characters, e.g., 2-bit characters,
“, *, ?, |, <>, /, ; , @, &, =, +, $,
• When installing multiple components on a single server, different HTTP/HTTPS ports must be configured for each app.
• If the specified port is not in the range of 1 – 65535, or is already in use, an error message appears. Click [OK], and then enter correct port number.
8. Click [Next].
9. Select Authentication Mode, and then click [Next].
10. Specify Database Connection Settings.

4.2 Authentication and Accounting Manager Installation
The AAM software component enables the Administrator to manage authentication settings for user login at the device (with embedded AAM), as well as track usage and costs by user, set limits and establish printing rules, e.g., color usage, duplex, page limits by device, user quota chargebacks, etc.
Important:
