InstruCalc 7 Network Installation

Instructions

These network installation instructions must be followed for this version of InstruCalc to
work in a network environment.

This version of InstruCalc (7.X) includes a license metering software that monitors the number of
simultaneous users. You may install the software on as many client machines as you wish, but only the
licensed number of simultaneous users will be able to use the software at any one time.

IMPORTANT: Please follow these installation instructions in the exact steps as


described. Activate the server first and then go to the workstation setup. Some of the steps
may be seem redundant but you still must do them.

It is critical when mapping to the network that you use a drive letter (E, F, G, H, J, etc.) and not a
UNC path. NOTE: A UNC (Universal/Uniform Naming Convention) path will not work.
Step 1 - Server Activation

1. Install the InstruCalc 7.1 software on a client workstation (not the network server) C drive using the CD
provided (run setup.exe).

2. Copy the InstruCalc7.ini file from the “Server” sub directory folder that you just installed on the client
workstation (default location is “C:\InstruCalc Instrument Sizing Suite\Server) to a network drive
location. Do not create a folder to put this file in. Map the network drive location by specifying a drive
letter (E, F, G, H, J, etc.). NOTE: A UNC (Universal/Uniform Naming Convention) path will not work.

3. Copy the Server setup file, InstruCalcserver.exe, from the “Server” sub directory folder that you just
installed on the client workstation (default location is “C:\InstruCalc Instrument Sizing Suite\Server) to
the same network drive location to which you copied the InstruCalc7.ini file in the previous step. Do not
create a folder to put this file in.

4. From the server drive, run the Server setup file that you just copied (double click the
InstruCalcserver.exe file) and you will get the following pop-up.

5. Click on OK to get to the next step (indicated by the 2 pop-ups below).

6. Select the Change Drive option on the lower pop-up screen for the license file path screen.
7. Select the Browse option on the above screen to get to the following screen.

file from the drive drop down menu.

10. Choose the desired file, in this example, h:\InstruCalc7.ini from the Files Found field (left click on file to
highlight)
11. Click on the Select File button, (NOTE: the drive and path at the top should just be the mapped drive
letter only…this is critical for the operation to work) then click on the Save button and then the OK
button, and you will get the following pop-up.

12. Select OK, on this Reload Menu. Your screen clears.

13. Go back into the server drive (like you did in step 4), run the Server setup file again (double click the
InstruCalcserver.exe file) and you will get the following pop-up.

14. Select OK from this screen and the following 2 screens pop up.

users. In this case 1.
