The turnkey installation of Adobe LiveCycle enterprise software is the most widely installed implementation of LiveCycle products. A turnkey installation has the benefit of being a graphical wizard-driven installation that provides a simple mechanism to install, configure, and deploy Adobe LiveCycle products. Because LiveCycle products require a J2EE application server to host their services, the turnkey installs JBoss 3.2.5 and MySQL 8.1 automatically (MySQL is not installed with stand-alone LiveCycle Reader Extensions installations or LiveCycle Forms installations where user management is not selected).

The Adobe Enterprise Support team has designed this recorded presentation to illustrate a complete turnkey installation of the following LiveCycle 7.2 products:

• LiveCycle Forms
• LiveCycle Form Manager
• LiveCycle Workflow
• LiveCycle Reader Extensions

This group of products is sometimes referred to as the Workflow bundle. This presentation demonstrates how these four products can be integrated into a single deployment. If you wish to install only a subset of these products, there will be sections of this video which will not be relevant.

The goal of this presentation is to provide an additional resource to the installation documentation in an effort to reduce confusion about the installation process and to provide an easy-to-follow audio/visual portrayal of a turnkey deployment. This presentation does not replace documentation and does not contain all information therein, so it is recommended that documentation be used as the primary source for installation and configuration instructions.
