NOTE
TopTools 2.5x with HP OpenView or
Other Management Software
For backward compatibility, TopTools for Desktops 3.0 Agent PCs will
work with the TopTools 2.5 management console.
The two basic elements in TopTools desktop management up to
version 2.5x, are the management console and the client PC. While you
need only install one management console per sub network, (that is,
before a router), you may need to install a number of client PCs. The
following diagram shows their relationship.
