License Keys
For a single server environment, no license key is required. The software is fully functional without a license key but is restricted to operation on a single server. This will allow you to test ScaleOut StateServer’s basic functionality with your application. To run ScaleOut StateServer on a multi-server farm, please contact ScaleOut Software for a license key.
Typical Installation
By default, the installation wizard soss_setup32.msi (or soss_setup64.msi for Windows x64 systems) selects the Server component for installation. This installs the StateServer service along with help files, sample programs, management tools, API libraries, and the libraries required for local client access under .NET 2.0 and higher. This installer requires the .NET 2.0 framework or later.

By default, ScaleOut StateServer installs into \Program Files\ScaleOut_Software\StateServer on 32-bit systems and into \Program Files (x86)\ScaleOut_Software\StateServer on x64 systems.
Optional Remote Client Support
Both installers let you optionally install just the Remote Client Support component of ScaleOut StateServer. The Remote Client Support component installs the libraries required for applications to remotely access ScaleOut StateServer running on a networked computer. It also installs the help files, sample programs, and management tools. To install only the Remote Client Support component, please select this component when prompted by the installation wizard.
