Having programs open during the installation can cause problems. Please ensure that all PTP programs are closed on all workstations before you start.
If you are a user of PC Share Register Plus then Forms Online will already have been installed as a subsidiary module; you do not need to install it separately. To access it open PC Share Register Plus and select Other Modules, Forms Online.
The Installation Wizard will ask you the type of installation you require. If you are installing for the first time or as an update, select Complete/Update.
The Wizard will then guide you through the rest of the installation process. Once the installation is complete you must close the DVD windows via the Back and Exit buttons.

The program needs to be installed on the server.
The installation needs to be run on each workstation selecting Network Workstation as the installation type.
The program needs to be registered on one workstation.
Forms Online is a server-based application. You must therefore install Forms Online on a network server in the same way as you would on a standalone system. You can then run the installation on each workstation and select the Network Workstation option when asked to select the installation type. This will create a shortcut on the local workstation.
Forms Online requires a network drive to be mapped. It will not be possible to run the program over a network without a mapped network drive letter. If you are in any doubt please contact your network administrator.
