===== APEX Installation =====

APEX is based on the Microsoft "Click-Once" software architecture. This means that the installation files are accessed over the Internet. Once the installation completes, APEX communicates with the following URLs:

**ERDS:** [[https://apex-prd.certna.org]]  (204.246.133.237)

**G2G:**  [[https://apex-prd.certnag2g.org]]   (209.170.199.196)

Please be sure to check with your IT department to ensure that your workstation has access to both the installation URLs and the operational URLs as outlined.

To be able to initiate the installation process you must be able to communicate with https://dev-ws02.certna.org  (209.170.199.194). If you are able to reach the installation site, you will be presented with the screen that is shown below.
