Software Shortcut Option
To display the DriveRight icon directly on your desktop, drag
the newly-created icon to the desktop. Or, alternatively, you
can create this shortcut at any time by right-clicking on the
desktop, selecting
New and then Shortcut from the right
mouse button pop-up menu, clicking the Browse button to
seek out the software's installed location, and then double
clicking the DriveRight icon.
Network Installation
To install the software on a network, follow the normal instal-
lation instructions and specify a folder on the server as loca-
tion for the software.
In a network scenario, the network administrator grants access
to the software; configures the database engine to enable the
software to locate necessary files; and specifies a folder to
maintain the locking file that assigns individual user rights.
ADMIN NOTE: Include the location of this folder in the path command
or repeat the installation procedure for each client PC. If you specify the
same folder for the locking file as selected in the software install abave,
only the database engine will be installed and multiple users may share
the software.
