Installation and configuration of Axiell Collections
This guide describes how to perform a fresh installation of Axiell Collections.
It also provides details about upgrading an existing installation of the Adlib Windows application to Axiell Collections.

There are three main components in an Axiell Collections installation: a database (SQL Server), the Collections web service (aka the Axiell Collections core software) and the Collections (model) application.
The material in this online installation guide is adapted from various PDF guides:
There are two types of Axiell Collections installation, hosted and on-premises.
- With a hosted solution Axiell manages the server hardware, networks, operating systems, data backup and disaster recovery planning. Hosting the solution is the easiest way to get up and running and removes the hassle of managing servers and hosting in-house.
Details about setting up a hosted solution can be found here.
- Axiell Collections can also be installed on a Windows server and run in-house.
Details about setting up an on-premises solution can be found here.
