You must also have a license key installed on the motherboard (for LOMs). For add-in NICs, the license key is preprogrammed in the hardware. For Windows 2003 Server in an iSCSI Boot environment where iSCSI Offload license is enabled for that adapter, Microsoft KB943295 must be installed. .NET Framework Requirement Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 includes the runtime and associated files needed to run BACS 3, and must be installed on your system in order for BACS 3 to operate. For information on the minimum and recommended .NET Framework versions for your operating system, see Table 1. NOTE: For optimal performance of BACS 3, Broadcom recommends .NET Framework 2.0 SP1, .NET Framework 3.0 SP1, or .NET Framework 3.5, depending on your operating system.
