Networking
Yes, our programs are networkable, at no extra cost.
You may network our software at one location using the original serial number and unlock code. If your office has an established Local Area Network, our software can be installed to allow users on multiple machines to share a central collection of data. Note: Only one machine can access the central collection at a given time.
Due to the wide differences in network design and software, we cannot offer technical support for networking. Consult your network administrator.
What Not To Do
Do not use the Installer file. Delete it if you have not done so already. (If you were to re-install the software, it would generate a new, different serial number, which would require a different unlock code. A fee would be required for this new code.)
Do not use the shortcut located on the desktop. This is not the entire program.
What To Do
After purchasing and entering your unlock code, move a copy of the program to all machines that will run the software, including the server. Make sure that the copy moved to the server is moved to a Shared Folder.
To move the software to the Server:
- The Program(s) in question can be found in the "Torgo, Inc." folder.
(Version 7.3 or later) . . . . Go to: My Computer (or Computer) > Local Disk (C:) > Torgo, Inc.
(Version 7.2 or earlier) . . . Go to: My Computer > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > Torgo, Inc.
- Open the "Torgo, Inc" Folder and find the folder with the same name as the program.
- Drag that program folder from your "Torgo, Inc" folder and
- Drop that program folder into your Shared folder.
To move the software to the Client Machines:
- Open your Shared folder.
- Drag the program folder from your Shared folder and
- Drop the program folder into your Hard drive or desktop.
To create a shortcut on your Desktop which lets you access the server version of the program:
- Open the program folder in your Shared folder.
- Right-click on the "Proj_Man" file and choose "Create Shortcut".
- Drag the shortcut to your Desktop.
- You can double-click the shortcut to open (run) the program.
After installation, each system can access either its personal records or the records on the server edition.
If you get a "Read Only" or "Not Modifiable" error message, click here for some solutions.
IMPORTANT:
- After you're done copying the "Torgo, Inc" folder to the new machine, you should install the
Schubec Printer Fix and the Ghostscript Plug-in (for creating PDF files) on each client machine.
When you move the program to another computer or install it on a network,
the Schubec and Ghostscript components do not copy with the program.
Solution:Install the "E-Mail Fix" package.
The download link for the E-Mail Fix can be found under
"Free 3rd Party Software" at the bottom of our Download Page.
- If the program does not print after copying, you may need to re-select your printer.
Follow these steps:
- Click on the "Print Options" button.
- In the Print Options layout, select "Full Print Dialogs".
- Click on "Return To Form".
- Click on the "Print" button. You will see a series of print dialog boxes, one of which lets you set the default printer. Select the appropriate printer and continue printing.
- Once printing occurs correctly, you may wish to return to the "Print Options" layout and switch back to "Simple Print Dialogs".
