    Installing a network

<~~Back

Salon & Spa Professional may be set up as a multi-station system on a network following registration.  As long as Salon & Spa is running in evaluation or tryout mode you do not have access to the network tools.

As Salon & Spa can not create the main folder where the data will be located on your network you must do that.  We suggest that all computers to be used are connected to the network and the network correctly set up using windows networking.  The data location can be one of the computers or a networkable drive connected to your router. It is best to map the data location that you created as a drive letter on each of the computers.  Salon & Spa will create all subfolders that are required by the system.

Install Salon & Spa on each of the systems if not already installed.  Register each of the installations with your key.  Note that following registration each copy of Salon & Spa must be restarted for the registration as a multi-user system to take effect.

From the system menu of each system open the Set your system path tool shown below.  Using the drive box and the folder box locate the data drive and folder that you previously set up.  Save that setting on each of the stations.  Close Salon & Spa on all of the stations. 

Note: if you were previously using Salon & spa as a single user system restart that system and re-open the "Set your network path tool and click on the copy button.  It will copy all of your data files to the new location.  Shut down and re-start again.  At this point you can restart Salon & Spa on all of the other stations.

If you are starting a new system you may use any of the stations to begin entering your data.

The multi user system uses a license manager to track the number of stations running.  You may run up to the number purchased with your license.  if one of your stations does not close Salon & Spa normally it may not reset the license manager.  Should this happen contact support for procedures to correct the problem.
