Installing the Author-it Service Manager

We recommend that you complete this procedure from a client workstation that can view the server and has the appropriate rights to install programs onto it.

To Install the Author-it Service Manager:

1. Close all other Windows programs. This lets Author-it update essential components which are shared by other programs.
2. Run the Windows Service Setup.exe to begin the installation process. The setup confirmation screen opens. Choose Next to continue.

   

   The Setup Wizard shows you the location where the Author-it Server Manager will be installed.

   

   • Choose Disk Cost... to display the available disk space in the location where Author-it is to be installed

     Select how the Author-it Server Manager will be installed on this computer:

   • Choose Everyone to make the Author-it Server Manager available for all users with access to the computer
   • Choose Just me to make the installation of the Author-it Server Manager available to you only

     After you have confirmed the settings, choose Next to continue.

3. Choose Next to begin the installation process.

   

4. Progress is shown as the components are installed

   

5. Choose Close to exit the Setup program.
