Network Edition: Setup:
Installation of Client Only

Important Notice: This procedure is for new installations only. If you are moving a Client that has already been installed, please use the Relocation procedure instead.

Use this procedure if you are installing only a Bundle-Track Client (user interface), not a Server (database system), on this machine.
(Related procedures: Server and Client, Server Only.)

What you will need:

• A login with Administrator privileges on the machine.
• Your Bundle-Track setup package
  • If you don't already have one, contact support to get one.
  • includes a temporary 7-day BTNetwork.exe file
• a licensed BTNetwork.exe file
  • If you have another licensed Bundle-Track Client currently installed, then you can simply copy the BTNetwork.exe file from that installation.
  • If you do not have this file at this time, you can proceed, but be sure to contact your Bundle-Track representative to get a licensed file before your temporary file expires.

Procedure:

1. If there is an older Windows-based version of Bundle-Track installed on the machine, uninstall it, and then delete the Bundle-Track directory. (You may leave DOS versions if you wish.)
    
2. Make sure your system date is correct. If not, change it now. (If you change it later, your Bundle-Track client executable will expire itself.)
    
3. Run the Bundle-Track Installation package on the new machine:
   • If you wish to install into c:\Program Files\Bundle-Track\, accept all default paths presented by the install wizard. Otherwise, on any panel that gives you the option, change the default filepath.
   • In the Installation Wizard's 'Select Components' panel ...
     • Uncheck 'Server for Windows'
     • Uncheck 'Example Programs and Databases'
     • Accept all other defaults.
          
4. The setup package installs a temporary (7-day) BTNetwork.exe file. If you have a licensed BTNetwork.exe, use that licensed file to overwrite the one that was installed by the setup package. (If you do not have a licensed BTNetwork.exe file at this time, you can skip this step for now, but be sure to contact your Bundle-Track representative to get a licensed file before your temporary file expires.)
     
5. Install any new Custom Reports or updated Standard Reports that have been provided to you.
    
6. Run the Bundle-Track Links utility on the new machine to set the database filepath(s).
   • Note: If you are printing these instructions, you should follow the link above and print that page too.
       
7. Log into Bundle-Track. (If necessary, troubleshoot.)
    
8. In Bundle-Track, menu select File >> Printer Setup, and specify your system's printers.
    
9. If this Client will be printing Bundle-Tickets:
   1. Configure the Printer Object as detailed on this page.
   2. Set your Ticket Layout according to your Production Standards:
      • If Money-based, change to the Custom Ticket Layout. (procedure)
      • If Time-based, the default layout is appropriate.
      • (If you are interested in a custom Ticket layout, click here)
   3. Initialize the barcode fonts. (Procedure)
       

That's it.

Remember: the number of Bundle-Track Clients that may simultaneously connect to the Server is limited to the number of User Seats you have licensed. Click here to order additional User Seats.
