Why Client needs computer software?
Depending on what a client need to accomplish, a number of different
advantages exist for using software of a variety of types:
a) Make Tasks Easier
o Software, and computers in general, offer you the ability to make a
lot of tasks much easier.
o For instance, it is completely possible to write a novel by hand or
on a typewriter. However, if you use a word processing program,
you can re-arrange your text as you wish, save it, delete it and
check your spelling and grammar. Additionally, you won't need to
re-learn any typing technique.
o Software can make lots of routine tasks easier, such as keeping
records with spreadsheet programs, or letting you use a digital
calculator that you won't lose or misplace when you need it.
1.2 Identify and document Client software
requirements

b) Spreads Information
o Software can often help you do things that you may not know
how to do. For instance, accounting software and tax software
can help people with no knowledge of tax law or accounting
principles keep track of a business's books and find all necessary
deductions come tax time.
o Software programs can also help people who have no
knowledge of hypertext markup language, which is the
computer language used to make websites, design and build
websites.
o Software makes all of these tasks, which would normally require
a much more knowledgeable expert to complete, possible.
requirements

c) Minimize Cost
o Software is a cost-effective means of solving problems.
o For instance, say that you need to find a way to store all of
your records. You could put years, if not decades, of physical
records onto a digital database using database software and/or
a spreadsheet program.
o Between eliminating the need for your physical files, saving
you physical room, and giving you a way to more easily track
your records, the software has saved you time and money.
o Additionally, some types of software like this are completely
free to download, increasing the savings even more.

OBJECTIVES
 Selecting an application program that best conforms
to requirements and organizational policies
 Determining Licensing requirements in line with
organizational guidelines
 Confirming minimum hardware and Software
requirements for installing and using System and
Application software.
LO2: Obtain software or software upgrade

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A SOFTWARE
PACKAGE
Your needs:
 The software should do the specific things your business needs to do
 It is should be the best choice available for the investment you are
prepared to make.
 Make sure the software makes you how confident and efficient for
your work.
Return policies:
 If the software doesn’t work for you , the should be return policy to
return the software for a refund.
 A return period gives you time to test the software. You probably won’t
be able to get a full picture of the software’s usability in a typical 30-
day return period, but you will have a good idea if you are headed in
the right direction.
2.1 Selecting an application program that best
conforms to requirements and organizational policies

THINGS TO CONSIDER…
Reference check:
 Ask the software maker for a list of current users whose businesses
are similar to your own (custom, remodeling, production, etc.).
 Call these references and ask them about their experience with the
software, customer service, and any problems that they may have
encountered
Hardware and other requirements:
 Review the hardware requirements for the new software. Will you
need to upgrade your computers or printers?
 Does the software require special equipment such as
plotter/digitizers or network cards? How much does this hardware
add to the investment? Will you need to get Internet access or
change Internet service providers?

Training and documentation:
 Look at training support and user’s manuals (documentation)
for the software package.
 What training is available from the documentation (via
tutorials), online (at the company’s web site), and from the
software vendor (some will provide on-site training for a fee)?
 Customer support:
 Check into the software publisher’s customer support. What
comes with the original purchase price? What is available for
additional fees? What happens if there is a problem? How
quickly can you get help? Who provides this help and how?

Upgrade policies:
 Look at the software company’s maintenance and
upgrade policies. Do they have a good track record on
providing timely upgrades? How much do upgrades
typically cost? Is there a new version in the works?
When will it be delivered? Do they offer software
patches (fixes) when bugs are discovered? How?

WHAT IS SOFTWARE LICENSE?
 A software license is a legal instrument (usually by way
of contract law or Copyright law) governing the usage or
redistribution of software.
 Any software you buy comes with a license, unless it's freeware.
 When you install the software, you have to enter a license code.
 This code is included with the software and an agreement called
the end user licensee agreement (EULA), which explains how
you can use the software.
 The license terms are often enforced by a built-in license
manager.
 You have to agree to the terms and conditions of the EULA
before you can install the software.
2.2 Determining Licensing requirements in line with
organizational guidelines .

SOFTWARE LICENSE …
 A product key, also known as a CD key, is a specific
software-based key for a computer program. It certifies that the
copy of the program is original. Activation is sometimes done
offline by entering the key, or with software like Windows XP
online activation is required to prevent multiple people using
the same key.
 There are different types of software licenses that restrict or
limit the use of software and protect it under copyright law.

TYPES OF SOFTWARE LICENSE
 Freeware
 As the name suggests, freeware is software that is free for
everyone. The distribution of freeware is not restricted by
any copyright. You can download it and use it without having
to pay a single cent. Freeware does not expire after a limited
time.
 Shareware
 Shareware is copyrighted software that is free to download,
but its usability is limited in some way. Shareware may expire
after a limited length of time, after which you may be required
to pay to use the software again. In other cases, there might not
be a time limit but you may not get access to some features
unless you pay a fee to unlock the complete program.

 Limited License
 Limited license software is only intended to be used for non-commercial
purposes.
 There is a limit on the number of computers that can use the software at
the same time.
 An example of limited license software is the software installed on a
limited number of computers in educational institutions.
 Unlimited Site License
 There is no limit on the number of copies you can make of unlimited site
license software.
 This kind of software is popular with educational institutions so they can
provide it to faculty and staff.
 They also keep copies of the software in the library for students to borrow.
An unlimited site license only permits the use of the software in the same
physical location, like a college campus or an office.

 Enterprise Site License
 An enterprise license is like unlimited site license but it is not
restricted to one physical location.
 A company that has offices at different locations is allowed to
install the software at all its offices.
 Single License
 This type of license allows the installation of the software on only
one computer.
 If you need to install the software on additional computers you have
to buy a separate license for each computer.
 Volume Purchase Agreement
 A volume purchase agreement makes it possible for an institution to
buy large quantities of copyrighted software at a reduced price.

What is System Requirement?
 To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain hardware
components or other software resources to be present on a computer. These
prerequisites are known as system requirements.
 Most software defines two sets of system requirements: minimum and
recommended.
 Minimum system requirements are the minimum hardware requirements
needed to run a software . For the sake of performance, you should usually
stay away from the minimum requirements and stick to the recommended
settings (or better).
2.3 Determine system requirement for
installing system and application software

I. Hardware Requirement
 The most common set of requirements defined by any operating
system or software application is the physical computer
resources, also known as hardware.
 A hardware requirements list is often accompanied by a hardware
compatibility list (HCL), especially in case of operating systems.
An HCL lists tested, compatible, and sometimes incompatible
hardware devices for a particular operating system or application.
 To be used efficiently, all computer software needs certain
hardware components requirement such as
o CPU Speed(Processing Power) , RAM Capacity , Hard disk
capacity , Display adapter , Peripheral devices.

CPU Speed ( Processing power)
 The power of the central processing unit (CPU) is a fundamental system
requirement for any software.
 Most software running on x86 architecture define processing power as the
model and the clock speed of the CPU.
 Many other features of a CPU that influence its speed and power, like bus
speed, and cache. This definition of power is often erroneous, as AMD,
Athlon and Intel Pentium CPUs at similar clock speed often have different
throughput speeds. Intel Pentium CPUs have enjoyed a considerable
degree of popularity, and are often mentioned in this category.

Memory(RAM Capacity)
 All software, when run, resides in the random access memory (RAM) of a
computer.
 Memory requirements are defined after considering demands of the
application, operating system, supporting software and files, and other
running processes.
Secondary storage (Hard disk capacity )
 Hard-disk requirements vary, depending on the size of software installation,
temporary files created and maintained while installing or running the
software, and possible use of swap space (if RAM is insufficient).

Display adapter
 Software requiring a better than average computer graphics
display, like graphics editors and high-end games, often
define high-end display adapters in the system requirements
Peripherals
 Some software applications need to make extensive and/or
special use of some peripherals, demanding the higher
performance or functionality of such peripherals. Such
peripherals include CD-ROM drives, keyboards, pointing
devices, network devices, etc.

II. Software requirements
 Software Requirements deal with defining software resource
requirements and pre-requisites that need to be installed on a
computer to provide optimal functioning of an application.
 These requirements or pre-requisites are generally not included in
the software installation package and need to be installed
separately before the software is installed.
 Operating system is one of the first requirements mentioned
when defining software requirements.
 Software may not be compatible with different versions of same
line of operating systems, although some measure of backward
compatibility is often maintained.
 Other software such as device drivers, Web browser etc are also
need to be consider when you install software.

The minimum and recommended hardware
requirements for installing Windows XP Professional
listed in the following Table:
Hardware Item Minimum Recommended
Processor Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) Pentium 300 MHz or
faster
RAM 64 megabytes (MB) 128 MB or higher
Hard Disk 1.5 gigabytes (GB) 4GB or higher
Others • CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
• Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse
• Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA
(800 x 600) or higher resolution
• Sound card
• Speakers or headphones

The minimum and recommended hardware
requirements for Installing MS Office 2007 are
listed in the following Table:
Hardware Item Minimum Recommended
Processor 500MHz CPU Speed 1.4GHz CPU Speed
RAM 256MB RAM 512MB
Hard Disk 2GB higher
Operating System •Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later
Others • CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
• Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse
• Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA
(1024x768) or higher resolution
• Sound card
• Speakers or headphones

Software Upgrading
 The term upgrade refers to the replacement of a product with a newer version
of the same product.
 With software, an upgrade allows a user to get the latest version of a
software program at a discounted price and not have to purchase the full
product.
 For example, a user running Microsoft Windows 95 could purchase the
Microsoft Windows 98 upgrade for a low price when compared to the full
version of Windows 98.
Benefits of software upgrading
 Benefits of upgrading your software products to the latest version are
1. New features not available or found in previous versions.
2. Often, the new version of a program will have better stability and
increased performance.
2.4 What is Software Upgrading?

Software Upgrade Types
 We generally separate software upgrades into two categories: 1)
Service releases or bug fixes and
2) New software versions.
 For service releases or bug fixes, we tend to upgrade as soon as they
are released since they usually make the software more stable and
reliable.
 For new software versions, we should answer the following
questions to determine whether we want to upgrade:
 Is our current version no longer supported?
 Does the new version have some features that will make my work
more efficient?
 Has the software been out long enough to detect any significant
problems?
2.4 What is Software Upgrading ?

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN selecting A SOFTWARE PACKAGE
 Your needs:
 The software should do the specific things your business needs to do
 Return policies:
 If the software doesn’t work for you , the should be return policy to return the software for a
refund.
 Reference check:

LO3: Install or upgrade software

General Tips for software installation
 Before you install computer software, the first important step is to
check the hardware and software requirement of the software you
are installing. The configuration of your computer must match the
requirements of the software to be installed.
 Sometimes, the software to be installed is compressed in a .RAR
or .ZIP file. In these cases, before you install the software you have
to uncompress all the installation files and folders.
To uncompress the files and folders, ensure that you have a
decompression software application installed on your computer.
 Computer software comes with a 'Read me' file. This 'Read me' file
contains all the instructions that are required to install the software
on your computer.
3.1 Installing software in accordance with

General Tips …
 Sometimes, when you install software, the software may ask you to install
another program that is required for the proper execution of the software to
be installed.
 The computer may even prompt you to install the supporting software after
you complete the installation.
 When you install any software program on the computer, it is advisable to
close all other programs and utilities.
 Some antivirus software applications may require you to turn off the
firewall in order to install the software.
 When installing software applications related to computer networking or
web browsing, it is recommended to disable the antivirus and the firewall.
 After installing a new program if it prompts you to reboot the computer, do
it.

Type of Installations
Silent installation
 A silent (or quiet) installation is one which does not display any
indication of its progress. It does not display messages or windows
during its progress.
Unattended installation
 Installation that is performed without user interaction during its progress
or, in a stricter sense, with no user present at all, except eventually for
the initial launch of the process.
Self installation
 Unattended installation, without the need of initial launch of the process
(i.e. Vodafone Mobile Connect USB Modem or Huawei E220's Mobile
Partner software that self-installs from the USB port).

Clean installation
 An installation performed in absence of such interfering factors (which
may vary from program to program) is called a clean installation.
 In particular, a clean operating system installation can be performed by
formatting its destination partition before the actual installation process.
Flat installation
 An installation of a program performed from a copy (called a flat copy)
of its original media contents (mostly CDs or DVDs) to a hard drive,
rather than directly from the media. This may help in some situations
where the target machine isn't able to cope with random access reads
from CD/DVD at the same time as performing the CPU-intensive tasks
often required by an installation, or where the target machine does not
have an appropriate physical drive.

Network Installation
 Installation of a program from a shared network drive, this
may simply be a copy of the original media (as in a Flat
Installation), but frequently, software publishers which offer
site licenses for institutional customers provide a version
intended for installation over a network.

Materials Needed to install Software:
Computer
Working CD or DVD drive
Installation disc
 manuals for the program or the readme file(optional)
