Install the Evaluation Software

Install an evaluation copy of Reflection for Secure IT Gateway

1. Log in as an administrator on the Windows system that will serve as your Reflection Gateway server for this evaluation.

2. Go to the evaluation download page. Enter the requested information, and click Submit. You will receive an email message with download instructions.

3. Download and launch the package. Select a location for the installer files. (For this evaluation, you might want to select a shared network location to be able to access the Setup program again when you install the Reflection for Secure IT Server.) Click OK. The files are extracted to the specified location, and the Setup program starts.

4. Reflection Gateway requires the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package. It is installed by the Setup program if it is not already on your system. If you see a message saying that this package must be installed, click Continue to install this required software. The installation continues after this prerequisite is installed.

5. Install using defaults. This installs all four services.

6. Select the option "Restart my computer for me."

   A Windows restart is required to complete the installation. It also starts the Reflection for Secure IT Gateway services.

7. To confirm that the services are installed and running, you can use the Windows Services console. The following four services should be present and running: Micro Focus Reflection Gateway Administrator, Micro Focus Reflection Hub, Micro Focus Reflection Secure Shell Proxy, and Micro Focus Reflection Transfer Server.
