5. Installing the software
This chapter describes how to install the Security World Software on the computer to
which your nShield Edge will be connected.
After you have installed the software and connected an nShield Edge to your computer,
you must complete further Security World creation, configuration and setup tasks before
you can use your nShield environment to protect and manage your keys. See the User
Guide for more about creating a Security World and the appropriate card sets, and
further configuration or setup tasks.
If you are planning to use an nToken with a client, this should be physically installed in
the client before installing the Security World software, see
