Add a Solution to an Office Live Small Business Account

Once you have created your solution file, you can add the solution to another Microsoft Office Live Small Business account.

When you add a solution to an account, each component contained in the solution is added to the appropriate feature area of Office Live Small Business. For example, a business application component in a solution is added to the left navigation bar under Business Applications. If the account already has an application with the same name, a new copy of the business application is created. If the solution file components include Web pages, these pages are added to Page Manager in Web Site.

Note

If the target account activated third-party design software to use in editing their public-facing Web site, you cannot add a solution that contains Web Site components such as Web pages or site designs. For more information about using third-party design software, see About using your own Web design program.
