Installing Ami Pro on a network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ You can install Ami Pro for OS/2 on any Local Area Network (LAN) compatible with OS/2 version 2.x. Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path names are supported for node path names. Anywhere you can specify a node path name, you can specify a UNC path name. In addition, Install supports the OS/2 High Performance File System (HPFS). Make sure you have Administrator (Read-Write-Delete-Access Control) access to the network drive and directory where you want to install Ami Pro. Ami Pro offers a flexible network installation. During installation on the network server, you can specify paths for each user's macros, documents, style sheets, SmartIcons, or clip art. You can specify paths on the network or on the user's local workstation. If you specify paths on the network, you can decide if each user accesses common server directories or their individual node directories. If you specify paths on the user's local workstation, you can decide whether the user can edit the paths. You can configure each user differently. For example, you can configure all user's in the Sales Department to share common directories on the network. You can configure all user's in the Marketing Department to share common style sheet and macro directories on the network, but store other files locally. During Install, you can specify the number of licenses you purchased for Ami Pro. Licenser determines how many concurrent users can run Ami Pro from their workstations. After installing Ami Pro on the network server, there are several methods of setting up each individual user's workstation to run Ami Pro. You can use the Administrator's Node Install to automate copying macros, documents, style sheets, SmartIcons, or clip art to each user's node directory on the file server. You can also instruct each user to run Node Install from their local workstation and copy macros, documents, style sheets, SmartIcons, or clip art from the network server. For additional information about installing Ami Pro on a network, refer to the READNET.TXT file located on Install Disk 1.

Using licenser ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Lotus Licenser tracks software licensing for all Lotus applications. Licenser determines the number of users that can concurrently run Ami Pro from their workstations. In addition, Licenser monitors software usage and tracks the number of users that are denied access to a Lotus application because all licenses were in use. Licenser creates a directory named LOTSHARE. Each Lotus application creates a license directory off LOTSHARE. Each license directory contains license files for that product and a log file. LOTSHARE must appear as a root directory to all users. You can manage the licenses using the Windows-based Licenser utility located in \AMIPRO\INSTALL. For additional information on Licenser, start Licenser and choose Help. To use licenser 1. Specify a network drive letter for LOTSHARE. If Install locates a LOTSHARE directory, but it does not contain active OS/2 licenses, a path displays instead. 2. Specify the number of licenses you purchased. 3. Choose OK. The Node Install Information dialog box displays.

Using Ami Pro on a network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Once you install Ami Pro on the server and set up each user node, multiple users can run Ami Pro from their workstations. All users must have Read-Write-Create-Delete-Attribute rights to directories that contain documents they need to edit. If the users on a network are sharing documents, Ami Pro provides file locking to protect against the possibility of simultaneous data update attempts. When a user opens a document, the original file changes to read only and can be modified only by that user. When the original user closes the document, Ami Pro changes the rights to read write so another user may edit it. Another user can open a read only file and save changes to it only if the changes are saved to a different file name. If Ami Pro is terminated abnormally, as in the case of a power failure, some documents may be left in read only mode. You can change the files back to read write using the Ami Pro File Manager.

Overwriting existing paths ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ Install checks for an existing release of Ami Pro. If Install finds existing MACROS, DOCS, STYLES, ICONS, or DRAWSYM directories, it displays the paths to those directories. You can leave the existing paths and overwrite any files with similar names or specify different directories. If you modified any macros, sample documents, style sheets, SmartIcons, or clip art files provided with Ami Pro for Windows and saved the changes to the original file names, you should specify another path. Otherwise, you can install these files into the existing directories. To specify directories for style sheets, documents, macros, icons, and clip art 1. Specify the complete paths to the directories where you want to install the Ami Pro macros, sample documents, style sheets, SmartIcons, and clip art. 2. Choose OK. Install installs the files into the directories you specified. See also: Installation help contents Specifying installation options Completing the installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18.
