Creating a New Database - Modules, Users and Companies

The next task is to ensure that you have been granted access to the appropriate modules and that the correct numbers of users and Companies have been registered. If you no longer have the 'Settings' list on screen, open it using the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcut or by clicking the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel once again. Select 'Configuration' by double-clicking. The 'Configuration: Inspect' window appears:

Ensure that the numbers of Named and Concurrent Users are correct. In a single-user system, it is likely you will have purchased either one Named or one Concurrent User.

If you need more than one Company, enter the correct number in the Companies field. You should only change the number of Companies if your business is one where there are separate departments or subsidiary companies that keep separate accounts, as described on the Companies and Databases page. Each Company requires a separate licence, so do not enter a greater number than you have purchased. For details about adding Companies, please refer to the Changing and Adding Companies page.

In the remaining sections of the window, select the modules that you require by clicking the check box next to each one so that a tick appears. Click the eight named buttons to see more modules. Choose the options that describe your hardware most accurately in the Server Hardware and Server OS fields (in a single-user system, choose the options that apply to the machine on which you will be using HansaWorld Enterprise). To choose an option, place the cursor in one of these fields and press the Ctrl-Enter (Windows and Linux) or ⌘-Enter (Mac OS X) key combination. A selection list will appear in which you can choose an option by double-clicking. Finally, click [Save].

If you intend applying for an Enabler Key using the 'Automatic Internet Enabler' method, you only need specify your Server Hardware and Server OS in the Configuration setting. All other information will be downloaded to this setting from the HansaWorld server together with the Enabler. However, before applying for an Enabler you should select the modules that you need so that you can carry out any necessary configuration work. If you will use one of the other methods to apply for an Enabler Key, you must make sure the Configuration setting is complete and correct before applying. Details about applying for an Enabler Key are here.
