The PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted installation is the traditional hosting option, in which you install PrizmDoc Server entirely on your own infrastructure. PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted 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.
