Other post-installation tasks that you may wish to complete are:

•Optionally, migrate the database to SQL Server if you wish to be able to manage your Email Signature Manager installation from multiple computers. You can then perform additional Manager Only installations of the product on the appropriate computers; please refer to this topic for more information.
 

•Optionally, install the Transport Agent to inject signatures into emails sent from mobile devices.
