Step 1 - Download and install Adobe LiveCycle Data Service The very first step on how to get started with Adobe LiveCycle Data Servces (LCDS). Select the Single-CPU / Trial version from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/.

1. Start 'lcds261-win.exe'
2. Leave the serial number blank (free when used on a single CPU)
3. Install with Tomcat (unless you know how to do otherwise)
4. My example uses the install path C:\Adobe_lcds.

Start LiveCycle Data Services Server and Samples Database

1. Start - Adobe - LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6.1 (or C:\Adobe_lcds\tomcat\bin\catalina.bat start)
2. Start - Adobe - Start Samples Database (or C:\Adobe_lcds\sampledb\startdb.bat start)

Test LCDS

My default installation gives me LCDS on http://localhost:8400/, which is configured in C:\Adobe_lcds\tomcat\conf\server.xml, under Service name "Catalina".

LCDS Samples are found on http://localhost:8400/lcds-samples/. And our applications will be deployed at http://localhost:8400/lcds/.

Check also out the console on http://localhost:8400/ds-console.
