After you configure the first workstation, you can configure
any additional workstations to use Optim™.
This task uses Optim Directory
and DB Aliases that were created when you configured the first workstation.
However, you must create a Windows registry
entry on each additional workstation to permit access to the Optim Directory. You also can configure
Personal Options for each workstation.
Note: If needed, you can create a separate Product Configuration
File for an individual workstation. However, the typical installation
uses one Configuration File that is accessible to all users.
Guidelines
When
you configure additional workstations, the following guidelines apply.
- Even if you install Optim on a server that allows access to each
workstation, you must run Setup before you configure each additional
workstation. This step ensures that the Windows registry for the workstation is properly
prepared and desktop icons are created.
- If you run Setup for a workstation
with the Optim software on
a file server, you must identify the server directory in which Optim is installed as the Destination
Folder.
You
can start the process of configuring additional workstations in the
following ways:
- Start the Configuration Assistant
immediately after Setup completes. Clear the Configure
the First Workstation check box and click Proceed.
On the next dialog, select the Configure Additional Workstation check
box.
- Select Configuration
Assistant from the Help menu on
the Configuration main window. Clear the Configure the
First Workstation check box and click Proceed.
On the next dialog, select the Configure Additional Workstation check
box.
- Select Configure Additional
Workstation from the Tasks menu
on the Configuration main window.
If you exported registry
data after you configure the first workstation, you can save time
by importing it to additional workstations. You are prompted to import Optim Directory registry data when you
configure each workstation. If you choose not to import registry data,
you must first enter the Product License Key and select the option
to Create a new Registry Entry for Existing Optim Directory.
