Installing on a network

Quick guide

  2. The installation needs to be run on each workstation selecting Network Workstation as the installation type.

  3. The program needs to be registered on one workstation.

Detailed guide

Forms Online is a server-based application. You must therefore install Forms Online 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.
