Server Installation |

The server needs to be installed on only one computer per store location. All other computers (including the one with the server) only require the workstation be installed. The server must be on your fastest computer or your main computer. Once the server has been installed, you will install the workstation on this same computer and then on any other computers your store may have. To view details on installing the workstation, please see Install Workstation.
* Note: The computer must be restarted after the database server files have been installed. Please be sure you have closed all other documents and programs before starting the installation.
