Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager Rapid Deployment Package
Installing the Software Distribution Server causes the rapid deployment package for Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager, Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager, 2D Access, 3D Access, the CreoTM View MCAD Express, the eDrawingsTM Viewer, and the XVL player to be created. Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager or Creo Elements/Direct Drawing Manager is always installed from the Software Distribution Server. The download page for these packages is located at:
http://SoftwareDistributionServer/
In most cases, when taking the defaults during the Software Distribution Server installation, no port number would be required. However, during installation you can specify a different port (such as if you have a Web Server on the default port 80 and you don't want the Software Distribution Server to conflict with that server).

It is important for you to provide the hostname (and port number, if not the default) of the Software Distribution Server to your users.
