For detailed information on installing Xpress Insight in production configurations, the prerequisite software requirements, and for information on which versions of the different operating systems are supported, see the FICO Xpress Insight 5 Installation Guide. For information on installing other FICO Xpress Optimization components, as well as detailed information on licensing options and licensing troubleshooting, see the FICO Xpress Installation Guide.

Perform the tasks in this order:
