The HP Live Network Connector is a tool used by HPCA to create a secure connection to the HP Live Network content distribution server and download the updated content. When accessing the HP Live Network content, the HP Live Network Connector first determines what content is available and then downloads the appropriate content from the HP Live Network subscription site.
A default version of the HP Live Network Connector is installed and configured when HPCA is installed. It is self-updating. Any changes to the connector are automatically downloaded when you update your HP Live Network content. In certain circumstances, you may want to install a new copy of the LNC. If you want to re-install the HP Live Network Connector for any reason, you can download a new copy at any time. For more information, see Download the HP Live Network Connector.
Note: The HP Live Network Connector performs authentication to HP Live Network and downloads content. By itself, the Connector does not install anything into the HPCA infrastructure. HPCA manages the loading of the updated HP Live Network content
