- Browse to the Symantec site: http://www.symantec.com/business/endpoint-virtualization-suite
- Select trialware
- Complete the Symantec trialware agreement and SymAccount
- Download Software Virtualization Solution 2.1 SP2 MP2
- Unzip downloaded file SVS_21_SP2_MP2.zip into a shared or mapped location.
- Open SVS_21_licensekey.txt to display the license key and copy it to the clipboard.
2. On NxTop Center, import the product key:
- On the NxTop Center browser window, click Overview in the Navigation panel.

3. On each NxTop base image, copy the Virtualization Agent installer package to the c:\ folder:
- In NxTop Center, use the Start action to run the NxTop image.

4. Publish the NxTop.
When the NxTop is downloaded by each user, the NxTop Engine installs the Virtualization Agent using the license and the installer package. The NxTop can then run virtualized applications built with the Symantec Endpoint Virtualization Suite.
The Virtualized Applications are imported into the NxTop Center Software library as vsa files. When assigned to a user, that user’s NxTop Engine downloads the vsa file, and the application is shortly made available to the user on that NxTop.
