How to install PC Share Register Plus

Introduction

PC Share Register Plus is a server-based application. You must therefore install PC Share Register Plus directly on a network server in the same way as you would on a standalone system. You can then run the installation on each workstation and select the Network Workstation option when asked to select the installation type. This will create a shortcut on the local workstation.

 

Network installations (multiple PCs accessing a central program location)

It is no longer possible to update PTP PC Share Register Plus software from any PC on your network. The new installer which provides a more robust, controlled and secure installation will only allow the installation to take place on the central machine (server or PC) where the database resides.  

If your network is slow, for example, Wide Area Network, you may wish to install the programs on the local hard disk and access only the data over the network. In this case, do not manually create shortcuts on the workstation, but for each workstation, run the installer and specify a local folder for the programs and specify the mapped network folder where the data is located.

Having programs open during installation can cause problems. Please ensure that all PTP programs are closed on all workstations before you start.
