Determine what Heartsoft Software you are going to install, and what CD-ROM's or Diskettes you will need. Here are some examples:
| Bestsellers |
CD-Rom, and Bestseller Installation disk. |
| K-8 Library |
CD-ROM, and K-8 single Installation disk. |
| Bestseller ESL |
CD-ROM, and Bestseller ESL single installation disk. |
|
|
| IMPORTANT: If you are installing the K-8 Library,the Bestsellers,or the Bestsellers ESL with the old control disk installation, you will need to put the 3.5" floppy in the disk drive of your computer first! This rule needs to be followed on the Normal, Server, and Client installs. |
|
| DETERMINE WHICH TYPE OF INSTALLATION: |
|
| Normal: |
This method of installation is intended for standalone machines. All the Heartsoft Software will be installed and contained on the machine where it is to be used. |
|
|
| Server: |
This method of installation is the first step in the Network installation. It must be done before the client install. In order to run the Server installation, the server drive needs to be accessible by the computer you are doing the installation from, i.e. on the desktop. You can use your chooser to get access to the server drive. The majority of the software will be installed onto the server, only aliases will be installed on the client machine. This saves valuable hard drive space. Network speed with Heartsoft products is very fast. The speed can be affected by the amount of users, the speed of your computers, and the network itself. |
|
|
| Client: |
This is the final step in the Network installation. After you have finished the Server Installation, it is now time to install all the clients that will be accessing Heartsoft. This is based on the same principal as the Server Installation. You need to have the server drive mounted on the desktop of the client machine. Follow the Client Installation Instructions below, and the Heartsoft programs will link to the server and appear on the desktop of the client machine. |
