Installation overview for a workgroup system

  1. Configure the computer where to install LDD on the network.

  2. Activate and download licenses.

  3. Install LDD using a workgroup installation.

  4. Change the administrator password, and optionally, the administrator user name.

  5. Temporarily set servers online to test function.

Note: Because software clients are managed differently than printers, client software is installed later in the system setup process. For information about installing client software and managing software clients, see Managing software clients.
