The Aptify LMS setup program can be broken down into two different actions:

• Installing/updating the Aptify database server components
• Installing/updating the Aptify e-Business web server components

When installing Aptify LMS for the first time or updating to a new release, the standard method is to install or update the necessary components for both the database and the web server (as described in Installing the Aptify LMS Module or Updating Aptify LMS). However, depending on your environment, you can also perform each action within the installation or update process separately by selecting (or clearing) the applicable options. The sections below describe each step and where to locate the action in Installing the Aptify LMS Module or Updating Aptify LMS, if you choose to install or update the LMS components separately. You can see an example of a separate components installation process in Example Separate Action Installation Method.
