Updating Client/Work
Station: If you have installed on a client/work station and want
to connect to an updated database on the server, you can do so when you
have completed this step. |
|
Click Finish
to complete the installation.
Updating Server:
If you have installed the update on a server, you will get the option to
Copy the installation files for client
installation if you want to create the install files.
These installation files can later be used by the remaining
users who install the program. This simplifies the installation for the
users, and you as the system administrator can predefine the values. The
users will also connect directly to the correct server and instance.
Note! If you
choose this option, other users will not require a CD to install the program.
The program can be installed from this folder. When copying installation
files for client installation, a dedicated file containing predefined
settings will be created in order to simplify the installation. Remember
to use an area in the network where the users have access.
|
|
If you chose to create an installation set above, you
can enter the settings for the installation set here. The user cannot
override the selection.
In the Copy to
field, choose file path for client installation select which folder the
users shall install the program files to.
Tip! You can place the installation
set on the document directory. The system has now created the document
directory and you can navigate to it by clicking the search button. Read
more about the document directory below.
Click Finish.
The installation set has been created. |

We recommend that you restart your computer before opening
the program.

Log into the system in the normal way.
The system will detect the new version and you will
be prompted to enter your username and password again in the update wizard.
Only the system administrator can update to a new version.
Read more about User name and Password.
The system administrator can determine which users will
have access to the update. The user logs in, using User
name and Password, in the
update wizard. The user with the access template Full
access/Super user or Administrator
will by default have access to the updates. All other users must be given
access manually.
There must always be at least one user with Full
access/Super user in the system.
Forgot you password?
You must then abort the update. Read
more here
about what to do if you have forgotten
your password.

in order to complete the update. |
Before installing on a client/work station, you must complete the update
on the server as described above.
If you created installation files during the server installation, we
recommend you use them. The system administrator can send you a link to
the Setup.exe file, which you double-click in order to launch a simplified
update wizard. Select language and continue.
You can also install the client version from the CD. In this case, you
must complete steps 1 to 7 above.
Note! It is recommended that you backup
your existing data before installing a new version of Mamut Business Software.
