Installing VirtaMove Source Agent and Source Monitor

VirtaMove Source Agent is a high performance server that you install on a source machine. Source Agent is enabled by default; if you do not want to use a Source Agent, do not install it on the source machine. For more information, see Using VirtaMove Source Agent. The Source Agent installers (x86 and x64) are part of the main installation package (VirtaMove_x64.msi) of V-Migrate.

...

A security key is required for VirtaMove Source Agent. You can pass the security key file via command line while running the Source Agent Installer, or you can specify one when you run the VirtaMove Source Agent installer. If you don't already have a security key, generate one when you install VirtaMove software on the destination machine. The key file will be exported to:
