Your CD-ROM is network ready and can be used simultaneously by multiple users. You will need to purchase additional site licenses for each additional machine to which you wish to install the software. Basic purchase price includes one stand-alone installation or one network site license. Please contact Gordon's Art Reference for network site license pricing and registration.

To install your CD-ROM to your network perform the following steps:

Determine the networked CD-ROM drive that you wish to designate as the shared device. This is most likely to be a file server with an installed CD-ROM drive that can be configured shareable among your network users.

Load the CD-ROM into the shared drive on the file server

Simply run the installation program from each workstation on which you wish to use the CD. The install routine will prompt you for registration information for each machine and will configure the software where to find the CD-ROM containing the data.

Note: You will need to obtain a different password for each workstation to which that you install the software. These licenses are locked to the machine that the software is installed to and cannot be transferred to a separate workstation.

Example network installation:

Sample network map

A: local floppy drive

B: local floppy drive

C: local hard drive

D: local CDROM drive

E: //FileServer/Public

F: //FileServer/CDROM

In this example your E: and F: drives physically reside on a networked machine named FileServer that has been configured as a shared resource to you. The command line below can be used to install the CD to your workstation yet share the data on the network drive:

F:/Setup32/setup.exe

Installing Data On A Networked Hard Drive

It may be desirable to load the data from the CD-Rom onto a network hard drive to improve access speed for your users. This will require approximately 600MB of disk space. The steps for accomplishing this are:

Obtain permission and "unlocking" instructions from Gordon's Art Reference

2. Create a directory on your network drive.

3. Copy everything in the <CD-ROM>\DATA and all of its subdirectories to the networked data directory.

On each of the workstations from which the program is run from you will need to change the DataDir entry in the gppa0.ini file to reflect where the new networked data directory is.
