Installing FastDoc on one machine

You run the installation program wizard to install the FastDoc components on a single workstation where the Datacap software is not installed.

About this task

You can get the installation package, Setup.exe, from a network drive, local drive, or a CD/DVD drive. You must install FastDoc on the physical hard disk of the computer from which you run Setup.exe.

For security purposes, the Key Management tool (dcskey.exe) is installed on the Datacap Server. You can use dcskey.exe to generate the security encryption key on FastDoc based on the following installation use cases.
Tip: In the use cases where FastDoc does not use Datacap Server, the server still must be installed for FastDoc to be able to obtain dcskey.exe.
Table 1. Installation use cases
Use case Action required
