2 Section 1: UST Minimum Requirements *Important FYI* Welcome to the UST Minimum Requirements section. Before you begin installing or upgrading UST there are some system requirements that must be met in order for UST to operate efficiently. The following must be already installed prior to any UST Installation/Upgrade: Adobe Reader (9 or higher), Microsoft Office 2003 (or 2007), Microsoft.NET Framework 3.5 SP1, Operating System: Windows XP (with Service Pack 3) and an Internet Connection is needed for the initial login, to upload/download quotes to/from the Online Repository. To check your settings go to: Start---Settings---Control Panel & double click the Add or Remove Programs icon. Your PC should match the settings outlined by the Red Boxes in the picture below. *Important* UST checks your computer for the minimum requirements (including Hardware). Adobe Acrobat does have a.pdf viewer built inside but it is not the same as the Stand-alone program Adobe Reader (which UST is programmed to check for). If you have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, you still need Adobe Reader 9. Users who use Adobe Acrobat *Professional * do not need to install Adobe Reader. 2

3 Section 2: How to Obtain UST Minimum Requirements Adobe Reader 1) Go to click on the link that says Downloads and then click get Adobe Reader. Next be sure to uncheck the Google tool bar or Photo Album software that may appear. Finally click download and follow the directions on the screen then reboot your computer then (re) install UST. *if no other requirements are needed* 3

4 Microsoft.NET 3.5 SP1 1) You may download Microsoft.NET 3.5 SP 1 from UPGNET. Under Unitary Sales Tools/Downloads is where you will find the link to downloading the Microsoft.NET 3.5, needed to run UST. 2) You can download Microsoft.NET 3.5 SP1 through your IE browser by going to tools and then selecting Windows Update. Microsoft Office 2003 (2007, 2010): Contact your local IT department. Internet Connection: Contact your local IT department. 4

5 Section 3: UST Auto Update/Upgrade Process UST automatically checks for and applies new updates as required, at every login. If an update is available UST will alert you to the update. It is important to allow this process to fully complete. Note: The update process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your internet connection. If your location has a slow internet connection you can request a UST Installation CD to be mailed out to your location. If this is the case send s to CG-USTSupport@jci.com with the subject heading Need UST Installation CD. Once you sign into UST the UST Update Progress bar will appear. This is the same bar that will appear for all UST related updates. This process is similar to Windows Update to give you an example. Note: UST may appear frozen or stuck during this upgrade process, this is normal; please do not close out of UST or the Update Progress window. Also, once the update process is completed the UST Update Progress will disappear. 5
