ProSeries Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install ProSeries to a network?

Products Affected:

• ProSeries
• ProSeries Express Edition

To install ProSeries or ProSeries Express Edition to a network follow these instructions:

1. Select a server and a ProSeries Admin workstation. (The server and the Admin workstation can be the same computer.)
2. Create and share a folder on the server that can be accessed by the workstations. (The shared folder doesn’t have to be mapped to a network letter as long as all the workstations can access the shared folder.)
3. Give other workstations access to the folder.
4. Install the ProSeries Admin workstation.
5. Install the other ProSeries User workstations. (The User workstations must be installed from the server.)

Notes

• If you used mapped drives last year, you should continue to use mapped drives with the new version of ProSeries or ProSeries Express.
• ProSeries users who are also going to be using ProSeries/Practice Manager should use mapped drives.
