such as iphones/ipads or Android phone/tablets, are available for purchase.
Use the Quick Start Guide with the device to set up the hardware and refer

Client Only
The Client Tools component of MobileAsset Pro Edition can be installed
once a MobileAsset server has been installed and is running.
Deselect the Database (Server) component when the Select Installation
Type screen is presented, and click the Next button to install only the
Client Tools component at machines other than the database server
machine.
Note: For information regarding the Database Manager option, please
refer to the section using MobileAsset to Manage Assets for Multiple
Companies on page 32.
The Computer Name screen is displayed once the database server install
is complete.
Important:
Record your Computer Name before clicking the OK button. This name
must be known when you perform your Client Tools installation.
uSINg THE MOBILEASSET CLIENTS
The client licenses are “Fixed”. After you install a client license and
run that client, it will connect to the server and register itself with the
server. Information about that computer will be stored on the server. Any
authorized user can connect from that computer using that one license.
If five clients have been installed and registered with the server and a
sixth client is installed, when that sixth client runs it will fail to connect
because all licenses have been used. Even if none of the other clients are
running the application, the sixth machine will be denied a license.
