This document is your compressive guide for initial configuration for E-Academy

License Management System (ELMS).

ELMS is a software distribution method for specific Students, Faculty and Staff to

download MSDN-AA software directly from a Microsoft server to your desktop in the

form of an ISO file. Once you click on the downloaded ISO file; whatever CD/DVD

recording software that is installed on the PC will automatically start running and will

want you to burn the ISO file to the appropriate media.

What is an ISO file?

“Apart from being one of the leading standards organizations, ISO refers also to a CD

or DVD image (not picture..) file with an extension of ".iso". The extension comes from

the full name of the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM file system specification, ISO 9660.

Just like other CD/DVD image formats, ISO is a file that contains full content of the disc,

including every single track, directory, file and information about the structure of the disc

(i.e. ISO files can't be used as they are, but they need to be either "mounted" with tools

like Daemon Tools or burned to CD or DVD in order to see what files the disc image

actually contains). Normally ISO files are being used to replicate existing CD/DVD

discs, transfer those discs over the network to other location (or to other person) and

burn back to CD/DVD which then would be an identical replica of the original disc.”d(Ltd.,
