Before you install PlateSpin Migrate, ensure that you have installed the Prerequisite Software: Visual C++, ASP.NET, IIS, and .NET Framework. You can use the Install PlateSpin Migrate Prerequisites script provided on the NetIQ Download site to install any missing software and apply the appropriate configuration. You can alternatively install the prerequisite software manually using the procedures in this section.
To use the script to install prerequisite software:
On the intended PlateSpin Migrate server, install a supported version of Microsoft Windows Server and activate the Windows license.
Go to the NetIQ Downloads page, then search for and go to the PlateSpin Migrate Download page.
Download the Install_PlateSpin_Migrate_Prerequisites.zip file.
Extract the files to the intended PlateSpin Migrate host server:
The BAT file executes the script without requiring that the user change the PowerShell execution policy to RemoteSigned.
Run the PowerShell script.
The script automatically installs and configures the prerequisite software.
Continue with Installing PlateSpin Migrate Software Components.
To manually install prerequisite software:
NOTE:Because the packaging and distribution of these software components varies among different versions of the supported Windows Server platforms, procedures vary slightly. Use the appropriate procedure for the target platform in the indicated order of installation and setup.
On the intended PlateSpin Migrate server, install a supported version of Microsoft Windows Server and activate the Windows license.
Install Visual C++.
See Installing Visual C++ 2013 for Batch-File Installation of PlateSpin Migrate.
Install Windows Server components ASP .NET, IIS, and .NET Framework:
(Optional) Enable FIPS-compliant data encryption.
See Enabling Support for FIPS-Compliant Data Encryption Algorithms (Optional).
Continue with Installing PlateSpin Migrate Software Components.
Before you perform a batch-file installation of PlateSpin Migrate server, you must install Visual C++ 2013 on the planned Migrate server. This software is required to properly install the Event Messaging service that is used by PlateSpin Transformation Manager. A redistributable package of Visual C++ 2013 is available in the PlateSpinMigrateSetup-12.2.1.X.exe file. You can alternatively download the Visual C++ 2013 package from Microsoft and install it.
To install VC++ 2013 on the planned Migrate server:
Extract the PlateSpinMigrateSetup-12.2.1.X.exe to a location on the planned server host for PlateSpin Migrate.
In a file browser, navigate to the ..\Migrate-12.2.1.X\PlateSpinImage\VCruntime-x64 folder.
Run vcredist_x64.exe as Administrator.

Download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 on your intended PlateSpin Server host.
PlateSpin Migrate supports data encryption algorithms that are compliant with FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards, Publication 140-2).
If compliance with FIPS is required, it must be enabled on the intended PlateSpin Server host prior to the installation of the PlateSpin Server. This is because PlateSpin Migrate runs in FIPS-compliant mode only if it detects that a workload’s operating system is running in FIPS-compliant mode.
NOTE:FIPS-compliant mode has a performance impact and might slow down the data transfer rate up to 30%.
To enable FIPS-compliant algorithms:
Enable FIPS-compliant algorithms in the security options of your PlateSpin Migrate host’s local security policies:
Run secpol.msc and browse to Local Policies > Security Options.
Enable the System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption security option.
Configure ASP.NET for FIPS support:
Access the machine.config file located in the following directory of your PlateSpin Server host:
..Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\vX.X.XXXXX\Config
Add the following under the <system.web> element:
<machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="3DES" decryption="3DES"/>
Access the web.config file in each of the below listed directories of your PlateSpin Server host and add the following under the <system.web> element of each of the web.config file:
<machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="3DES" decryption="3DES"/>
