Network Setup

Users with a multi-user license may install CES on a network to ease installation on several machines.

A central location is used for all user setups

Users can share the same database
Weblinks server locations can be edited in a central file

Instructions:

1) IMPORTANT: Read readme.txt on the CES EduPack 2005 installation CD-ROM for important notes
about installation. You may lose data if you do not follow instructions in readme.txt.

2) Uninstall any previous version of CES on your network server, and then install CES EduPack 2005 by
running setup.exe from the new installation CD-ROM. When asked to select a destination folder, select a
folder that can be shared on the network. Ensure you do a network installation, by selecting the Network
Server radio button from the Choose Destination Location page of the installation wizard.

3) Share the CES installation directory on the network. Consult the documentation of your network operating
system for instructions on doing this.

4) Instruct users to install using the Netsetup.exe program.

(e.g. \\CORPORATE_SERVER\CES\netsetup.exe )

For System Administrators only:

By default, the database is left on the server share, minimizing installation space on the client machine. You can,
however, change this option by editing the setup.ini file, which can be found in the folder that CES EduPack 2005
was installed into. Change the ClientInstallOption to one of the following:

ClientInstallOption=Shared The database is left on the server.

ClientInstallOption=Standalone The database is copied to the client machine.
ClientInstallOption=Ask Ask the user whether to copy the database, or leave it on the server.
