Before you begin, make sure you have access to the SharePoint server and that your account has the administrative privileges required to install applications.

**Virto Workflow Automation**—combining Virto SharePoint Workflow Activities, Virto Workflow Status Monitor, and Virto Workflow Scheduler—can be downloaded as a single package from [link].

Unzip the downloaded file (for example, `Virto.SharePoint.SE.WorkflowAutomation.zip`).

It contains two folders—one for License Manager and one for **Workflow Automation**. Open the **Workflow Automation** folder and run `Setup.exe`.
