Instructions for installing and reinstalling additional ADVOXY workstations.
1. If you are reinstalling, you MUST save the program folder to an external device before reinstalling. The folder is usually “C:\Program Files\Advoxy\”. In exceptional cases the folder may be on drive D:\ or E:\. Check exactly which one it is from the startup icon. Also save the icons of all ADVOXY products from your desktop. If you are installing a new workstation, copy this information from another working workstation.
2. From the ADVOXY installation disk install Firebird and then Advoxy on the new/additional computer, and call us for an activation key. Enter the activation key. The system displays a message that it is active for 30 days. Close the system with the “Exit” button.
3. Restore the information by copying back the entire ADVOXY folder you saved from the old workstation. Overwrite all files. Also restore the desktop icons. If you have no saved folder and icons, follow steps 4 and 5.
4. If you have no old workstation, write down the exact name of the ADVOXY server/main computer. The name of the server computer can be seen on the computer itself from My Computer, right button, Properties, Computer Name.
5. On the ADVOXY icon on the new/additional computer, press the right mouse button and choose Properties. In Target, after “C:\Program Files\Advoxy\Advoxy.exe”, enter one space and after the space copy “C:\Program Files\Advoxy\Advoxy.exe” once more. In this second entry, before C: enter the name of the server computer and “:”, and change exe at the end to fdb. Target then looks like this:
“C:\Program Files\Advoxy\Advoxy.exe” “SERVER:C:\Program Files\Advoxy\Advoxy.fdb”
Confirm with Apply. The program is now connected to the main computer and ready for work.
The first part of Target gives the path to the program on the client computer, and the second part the path to the database on the server (how the server sees the program). In exceptional cases the client or server folder may be on drive D:\ or E:\. Check exactly which one it is from the startup icon and correct the relevant part.
If you are installing on Windows Vista or Windows 7, disable the “Install Control Panel Applet” option when installing Firebird.
If there are connection problems, check the “Windows Firewall” settings on the server computer. You need to either turn it off or add TCP port 3050 under “Exceptions” to allow connections to it.
