{warning:title SQL 2008 Required}Arellia 7.1 SP3 has introduced requirements of SQL Server 2008 as a minimum SQL Server Platform{warning}
Application Control Solution 7.1 SP3 is being made available via [downloadable product listing|NS7Preview:How to install Arellia version 7 products - Symantec Installation Manager]

h3. Introduction

Application-level security attacks, such as file system corruption, registry corruption, spyware, and keylogging, pose a serious threat to mission critical business operations. Altiris Application Control Solution helps you manage this risk by letting you control the software applications in your Altiris environment.
For example, using Application Control Solution, you can create policies to automatically inventory the software packages or systems in your environment. You can also protect your company's data from malicious behavior by automatically encrypting documents, controlling an application's access to specific network locations, and preventing applications from installing Windows API hooks.
For a summary presentation on the changes, see [Arellia 7.1 Service Pack 1 Presentation|http://portalwww.arellia.com/wiki/download/attachments/17006620/Arellia+7.1+Service+Pack+1.pdf] .

h3. Requirements

* Arellia Application Control Solution 7.1 SP3 requires Notification Server 7.1 SP2 as a minimum platform.
The recommended system requirements vary depending on the size of the environment. The size of the environment also affects how you configure the platform.
For more information, see [Symantec Management Platform Best Practices References|http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO35984].

* Microsoft Silverlight 5, which you will be automatically prompted to download when first accessing the Arellia Console.
It can be manually downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/

* IIS Url Rewrite 2.0 module needs to be installed on the Notification Server. 
Symantec Installation Manager will automatically prompt you to install this, or you can manually download it from http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

* Microsoft SQL Server 2008


h3. Installation

You use Symantec Installation Manager to install Symantec Management Platform and all of the products that run on the platform. You also use Symantec Installation Manager to install updates, apply licenses, and repair installations.
For more information, see the [Quick Start to Installing with Symantec Installation Manager|http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=HOWTO21666].
Please see the following articles for additional configuration actions.
* [NS7Preview:How to Disable the Clean up File Resources Task]
{info:title=Technical Impact}
The Software Management "Clean up File Resources" task, deletes File Resources that are not associated with functionality delivered with SMP Software Management.  In particular it deletes File Resources that do not have a Resource Asssociation.  This ignores the situation where relationships are modelled through Inventory Data Classes (Dataclass Foreign Key Associations).  Arellia products have modelled these relationships in the same manner since the introduction of the File Resource with Application Control 6.0.
If this task schedule is not deleted, most File Resources discovered through Local Security Soloution and Application Control Solution will be deleted at 2:10 am every day.  These resources will re-discovered based upon inventory cycles, and will subsequently be once again deleted.
