Tips for downloading this product:

• You must create a temporary directory for each download.
• If the product you are installing requires the Option Repository, you must install the Repository before installing any other components.
• The installation program for some Optim components is spread across multiple download images. For example, the Client is contained on two download images, and the Repository on Windows is contained on three download images. For these components, after you load and run the first download, the installation program prompts you to insert the next download, and continues prompting for downloads until the installation is complete.
