Business Management applications run by accessing the Web services that you install on the business management server or other Commerce Server single server deployment.

Note

You must have administrator permissions on the computer where you install the Business Management applications. Log on to the operating system under a user account that has local administrator permissions.

The following task sequence assumes that the business user computer is already connected to a network.
