Installing the Program


System and network requirements

The program has been designed to work on updated Windows® versions and updated hardware. You can find system requirements with every installation or system update documentation for each and every program version. The system requirements are the recommended minimum requirements for running the program. You can expect a better performance from updated hardware.

Installation of Program Files

The first thing you need to do in order to start using Mamut Business Software is to install the program files. The program files can be installed from a CD or by downloading them from our website, where you can also find the installation guide. Before you proceed with the installation, you should decide which type of installation to install:

Single-User

This option is used when your licence allows for one installation on one computer. The program files must be installed on the computer on which you plan to run the program.

How to Install: Default Single-user

Server Installation

If you have purchased a multi-user licence, you can choose which computer will be used as a server and install the program on the server computer first. Make sure all users have the appropriate user access.

Client Installation

If you have a multi-user licence, install first on the server. You can then install the program files on the computers which will be running the program.

Evaluating the Program

You can evaluate the program or any of the add-on products not included in your licence. The majority of functions are available in the evaluation version of the program. You do not need a licence to evaluate the program. If you have a licence, you can evaluate the majority of functions not included in your original licence. If you want to evaluate the program, we recommend that you install the program on a separate computer.

Evaluating the product and testing its functions

Updating to a new version

The software provider will notify you when a new version of the program has been released. You can update to a new version by installing from the CD, via the program's interface or by downloading the update from our website. It is important that you read the update documentation before you start. You will also need to create a backup first.

Licence

You will receive a licence number as proof of having paid the licence fee. The licence number acts as a key that 'unlocks' the program when you register the number in the Mamut Business Software.

The licence number is registered either by filling in the registration form during the first-time startup of the program or by going to Help - About - Register Licence number when in the program.
