1 Get the files
The files required to install SoftwareCentral can be acquired from SoftwareCentral Update.
2 The four parts
Installing SoftwareCentral can be divided into four parts. Do them in this order.
| Part | Topic |
|---|---|
| 1 | Creating Active Directory Groups and users. |
| 2 | Preparing the SCCM and the SCCM SQL database. |
| 3 | Installing SoftwareCentral: run the installer on the web server. |
| 4 | Configuring SoftwareCentral. See Basic configuration before use. |
Part 3 asks for the application pool account from part 1 and, if you use ConfigMgr, can check the permissions set up in part 2.

4 Best practice
- Follow the order. Part 3 needs the application pool account from part 1 and the ConfigMgr permissions from part 2.
- Do not stop after the installer. SoftwareCentral needs to be configured before it is ready to use: part 4, Basic configuration before use.
