How to realise a network installation for Stock It Easy?

Stock It Easy  can be used by multiple users simultaneously on several computers on a network.

To do this, you must install the program on the server or computer server, and on users' computers, just use a shortcut to the program installed on the server.

1. Stock It Easy Install on the server

2. Start the application, then close the application

3. By default, the database and other directories are created in the directory: "C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ StockItEasy"

4. Move this folder to another disk partition (mandatory), eg the partition E: /

5. Share this new directory (and all subdirectories) so that other computers in the group can access, reading and writing

6. By default, the program is in the directory: "C: \ Program Files \ StockItEasy"

7. In this folder, open the file "stockiteasy.ini", and replace in each occurrence of the word REPERTOIRE (there are 4) the path of the directory of the application by the new path but with the name of the server and the drive letter, for example:

a. DIRECTORY = C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ StockItEasy \ StockItEasy data \ data \ to (path to the application before moving the files)

b. Must become DIRECTORY = \ \ MyServerName \ StockItEasy data \ data \ to (new path where you copied the files)

v. You don't know the name of the server? Right-click on the "job", take the "Computer Name", select the name of the computer

d. In the above example, \ \ MyServerName replacing E: \

8. Save your changes

9. Share the directory where the program by default: "C: \ Program Files \ StockItEasy", reading and writing  and delete the file C:\Program Files\StockItEasy\geststock.REP

10. Run the program, make sure you are logged into your database, if this is not the case, one of the above advice has not been scrupulously respected, and the program will certainly recreate an empty database also

11. If Section 10 is ok, you must connect your computers now "customers" to the server

12. Since the computer "customer", check that you have access to 2 shared directories previously created on the server

13. Connect the shared directory "\ \ MyNameServer \ StockItEasy data via the Explorer menu" Tools "/" Network Drive "and check" reconnect at the opening

14. create a shortcut to the program geststock.exe on your client computer from the Explorer, right click on geststock.exe and choose "send to" / "Desktop (create shortcut)"

15. You can now launch the program from the shortcut created on the client computer, if you have multiple client computers, repeat the procedure from paragraph 12

16. Remember, if you use a version with license key, a valid license key must be installed differently on each computer.
