What Are the Software Deployment Requirements?

For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.

This section lists the software products to install on each computer in a Commerce Server deployment. Make sure that you have the appropriate number of licenses to reuse Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates on multiple servers, as shown in the following list. See your SSL certificate vendor for the specific information about how to obtain these licenses.

All servers in a Commerce Server deployment must run a version of the Microsoft Windows operating system. For a summary of the Windows operating system versions supported for each server type, see Microsoft Operating System Software Requirements.
