- At the workstation or server, log on with full administrative rights.
Full administrative rights means write access to the Windows registry and all folders on the computer (including rights to the root of all hard drives). If you are unsure whether you have full administrative rights, ask your network administrator for assistance.
- Double-click the SetMeUp.exe file in your local Sage Estimating Install folder.
The Sage Estimating Installfolder is at the location you specified during the Sage Estimating download process. For example, if you downloaded the installation files to C:\Users\Public\PublicDocuments\Sage Estimating, look in this folder for the SetMeUp.exe file.
- When prompted by the User Account Control dialog box, click [Yes] to allow the program to make changes to the computer.
- Read the terms of the Sage License Agreement, and then click [Accept] to accept them.
- On the Sage Estimating installation window that appears, select Install Sage Estimating.
Selecting this option alone installs the Sage Estimating software and support components.
If you are installing Sage Estimating only for demonstration or trial purposes, or if you are configuring Sage Estimating for a single user, SQL Server Express may be adequate. However, for large databases and multi-user configurations, Sage strongly recommends implementing your Sage Estimating system with a standard version of SQL Server.
- Follow the remaining steps as prompted by the installation process, which guides you through the installation of Sage Estimating products and required support software.
- Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each workstation or server where you want to install Sage Estimating.
