such as iphones/ipads or Android phone/tablets, are available for purchase.

to the Working with Mobile Devices section in the MobileAsset online help.

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.
