UNC Installation Instructions

The following installation instructions goes over the method to install Osnium’s WS software.

There are two parts to the installation. The server installation and the client installation.

  1. The server acts as a data store and will be the central hub of WS, in which all client computers will communicate back and forth with the server. Because of this it is recommended that the server be the most powerful computer in house, or have a dedicated server to host this application. This installation only needs to be done once.
  2. The client installation needs to be done on every computer in house that needs to access WS. This installation is much shorter than the server install.

Please get as far with this install as you or your IT Tech can by following the instructions given. If you run into problems feel free to sign up for a 30 min Q&A session or a full hour install session. All assistance from Osnium is debited to your annual support hours. Instructions for signup below.
