PrizmDoc v13.2 - Updated
Self-Hosted
Get Started! > 1 - Get an Evaluation License > Self-Hosted

The self-hosted installation is the traditional hosting option, in which you install PrizmDoc Server entirely on your own infrastructure. PrizmDoc Server is flexible and scalable in that it can be installed on single server or a cluster scenario, with several different possible options for cluster installs.

This section will help you get a license key, install the PrizmDoc Server, show you how to upgrade later and troubleshoot any evaluation licensing issues.

For long term planning, you may want to review the Deployment Licensing section.

When evaluating PrizmDoc using a Self-Hosted PrizmDoc Server, you will need a Self-Hosted API key:

  1. Open a browser and go to https://www.accusoft.com/products/prizmdoc/overview/ and click Try it for free!
  2. The Try PrizmDoc Today form is displayed. Fill out the form and click Get Started.
  3. The Email Confirmation page is displayed. You will need to check your email to access the PrizmDoc Evaluation download link. Note: Check your spam folder if you do not see the Accusoft PrizmDoc Evaluation email. 
  4. In the email, click on the Start your free 30-day trial link.
  5. The link opens the Download PrizmDoc page. Note: You will need to download both the server and client installers to run PrizmDoc on your own server.
  6. Click on Download Server to install the PrizmDoc Server first.
  7. Follow the Install PrizmDoc Server instructions. (Note that during installation, you will be prompted to enter the email address you used when signing up for the evaluation. This activates your evaluation license.)
  8. After you have finished downloading and installing the PrizmDoc Server, go back to the Download PrizmDoc page and click Download Client.
  9. Follow the Install Viewer Assets & PAS instructions.
  10. After you have finished installing the Viewer Assets & PAS, go to Step 4 - Integrate the Viewer with Your Application.
