Adding Modules
Spectrum™ Technology Platform is designed so that modules can be added as you grow your system over time. For example, you may have one Spectrum™ Technology Platform module and then license another module a few months later. The second product may be built on a newer version of Spectrum™ Technology Platform. This will require you to upgrade your version of Spectrum™ Technology Platform. In another case, the second product is compatible with the installed version. In both cases, the install program recognizes if it needs to upgrade Spectrum™ Technology Platform and will do so without prompting. If an upgrade is not required, the installer will skip the Spectrum™ Technology Platform install steps and install the new module.
The process for adding a module is similar to that of a new installation. In both cases you start the installation process by running the Spectrum™ Technology Platform installer. Note that Spectrum™ Technology Platform modules do not have their own installer. Instead, you use the Spectrum™ Technology Platform installer to add modules.
