Starting with the release of MicroStrategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
Deploying the MicroStrategy software platform is the first step towards an enterprise scale Business Intelligence system. The MicroStrategy platform supports components across a number of operating systems which can be combined together in order to support your BI needs. The MicroStrategy installation routines are scalable to support any size deployment whether you are deploying a single MicroStrategy node or a dozens of machines for a clustered environment.
2. Select the release from the left hand side (Platform or Feature) and choose the version from the drop down in the middle and your release from the collapsible sections below.
3. It is recommended to place and unzip the installation package locally to the machine where you will be installing MicroStrategy instead of running the installation from a network or shared drive.
4. Before you begin the installation, obtain a license key from https://software.microstrategy.com or your Account Executive.
