Creating a New Database (Multi-user) - Setting up the Server Module

Please refer to the Enabler Key page for details about the various methods you can use to obtain an Enabler Key. If you will obtain it through the www.hansaworld.com website or by telephone or fax, you must first make all purchased Value Packs available on the server machine. You should also register the number of users there. Even if you are using the automatic internet method, you should register your Server Hardware and Server OS and numbers of Mailboxes and Conferences. Use the [Select Module] button in the Master Control panel to change to the System module. Next, use the 'Settings' function on the File menu to bring up the 'Settings' list window. Select 'Configuration' by double-clicking (or by clicking once and pressing the Enter key). The 'Configuration: Inspect' window appears.

Select the Server module by clicking the check box so that a tick appears. Click the check boxes for the Value Packs you have purchased. Ensure that the numbers of Users, Mailboxes, Conferences and Companies are all correct. Click the [Save] button in the Button Bar to save and close. Mailboxes and Conferences require the CRM and Mail Value Pack to be present.

You should now enter your company's name, address and other details using the Company Info setting. This task is fully described in the section entitled 'Changing the Company Name' on the Settings page. If you need to create additional Companies, you should do so now, following the instructions on the Changing and Adding Companies page. You should check the Company Info and Configuration settings for each Company before the next stage: the application for an Enabler Key.

Once you have finished this process, it doesn't matter which Company you end up in: all will be available to any client machines logging in.

!	Specify the number of users, set up your Companies and define the Configuration and Company Info settings in each one before applying for an Enabler Key.

If the server does not have a graphical interface, you will have carried out the work described in this section from a client machine. If you need to create additional Companies, you should change to "Admin Client" mode. To do this, go to the Technics module using the Modules menu and open the Program Mode register. Choose 'Admin Client' from the Operations menu. If you are not in "Admin Client" mode, the new Companies will be saved on your machine and not on the server. As described on the Changing and Adding Companies page, the server will shut down after any changes or additions have been made in the Company register. So you will need to close the client, restart the server and then restart the client after adding Companies on the server.
