INSTALLATION

You can install DELEGATOR Multi-User's executable files (.exe, .dll ) on a central server or on each individual user's workstation. All data files (.tps), however, must be centrally located on a computer and the folder must be accessible to all users. You should also place a copy of the files delegatm.hlp and delegatm.cnt in the shared data folder.

We recommend installing executable files on individual workstations because it provides faster performance and reduces demand on your network. However, this approach requires more effort to administer upgrades and add new users. The following instructions assume you are the System Administrator and are placing the executable files on individual workstations.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Installing DELEGATOR for the first time

1. Run the self-extracting archive to install the DELEGATOR executable files onto the workstation.

2. Create a shared folder on your server to hold the DELEGATOR data.  This folder must have write access for all workstations using DELEGATOR.

3.  On the workstation, change the Start In property of the DELEGATOR Shortcut to the new shared folder. See below for instructions on changing the Start in property.

4. If you are installing the evaluation version, copy the file syslic2.tps from the folder you installed DELEGATOR into to the shared data folder.  If you are installing the licensed version from diskette, the syslic2.tps file can be found Disk 2

5. Repeat steps 1 and 3 for each workstation.

6. Run DELEGATOR for the first time, using 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' (hold down the A key) as the user name and '1111111111' (hold down the one key) as the password.


Be sure at least one other System Administrator user ID has been set up before deleting the 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' ID.

Installing the licensed version of DELEGATOR

Most likely your organization has already installed the Evaluation version of DELEGATOR.  If so, follow the steps in this section. If not, go to 'Installing DELEGATOR for the first time.'   

1. If the version number of the licensed version and the evaluation version is the same (e.g. 3.2a), simply replace the syslic2.tps file in your shared DELEGATOR data directory with the new one you received from us by e-mail or diskette. That's all.

2.  If the version is newer, also do steps 1 and 3 of 'Installing DELEGATOR for the first time'  for each workstation using the diskette we sent you with this manual or the self-extracting archive you downloaded.
