Upgrade EZClaim to a server installation from a single user installation.

Notes:
Before you begin the procedure, be sure you have access to your server either from a mapped drive or a UNC path. If you do not know what a mapped drive or UNC path is, please contact a computer consultant to perform the procedure. Please note we do not support setting up your network.

Symptom:
Use the following procedure if you have the program installed on one workstation and you have upgraded to the multi-user edition with additional licenses AND use a file server.

Solution:
Procedure 1: Backup your data from the current workstation.

1. Open EZClaim on the local workstation.
2. Go to File on the menu bar, select ‘Backup Utilities’, then ‘Backup’.
3. Enter the file name that will contain the backup data or use the ‘Browse’ button to select the backup location. For this procedure, enter C:\Backup.zip
4. Click on the ‘Backup Now’ button.
5. Your data is now in the backup file.

Procedure 2: Restore the data to the server.

1. Open EZClaim on the local workstation.
2. Go to File on the menu bar, select 'Backup Utilities' and then 'Restore'.
3. Click the top 'Browse' button and select the network drive that is to contain the database files.
4. Use the lower ‘Browse’ button to select the location of the backup file. In this case, the backup file name is C:\Backup.zip
5. Click on the ‘Restore Now’ button.
6. The data will be restored and a confirmation box will show the new database location. Confirm that it is your network drive.

Procedure 3: Install the software on the additional computer(s).

1. Move to the additional workstation to install EZClaim
2. Insert the CD. The setup program will start automatically.
3. Proceed with the installation clicking the Next button until the screen asks for the database location.
4. Click the Change button to change the directory to your server drive/directory that was selected in Procedure 2.
5. Continue clicking Next, Install then Finish to complete the installation.
6. The workstation will now be configured to read the data on the server.

Repeat for each workstation registered.

It's very important that all users be at the same version and release of EZClaim. To check the version and release, click the Support/Help menu and select About EZClaim.
