Installing a Multi-user Edition

Installing a multi-user edition is essentially a two stage process:

1. Installing the server-based and administration components:
   • Shared data files including JET Library databases and various templates are installed on the server.
   • The Author-it Administrator program that you use to manage Author-it's user security and other settings is installed on the Administrator's computer.
2. Installing the Author-it program on each computer, and pointing it to the shared Data files on the server.

The following topics provide in-depth instructions on installing and configuring Author-it, ready to use, including the additional (and sometimes optional) steps required to create user accounts and work with a SQL Server database.

If you are upgrading, please refer to Upgrading from a Previous Version of Author-it before you continue.
