Network CD Installation Tips

The Network CD Install is a 2-Step Process

1. Install VitalSigns to your server
2. You must do workstation installs to any PC accessing VitalSigns on the server. (VitalSigns licensing allows 10 users)

VitalSigns Workstation Install

1. Open the VitalSigns folder using Windows Explorer. You cannot do this from one central location; it must be done from each workstation. (The default location of this folder is F:\VitalSigns)
2. Inside the VitalSigns folder is a Setup folder. Inside the Setup folder is a file called SETUP.EXE
3. Double-click on SETUP.EXE to run the workstation setup.
4. If the User Information and Serial Number are correct, proceed. If they are incorrect, change them.
5. Choose a destination for the user's folder on their PC. It will contain just a few files. (The default location is C:\Program Files\EbixLife\VitalSigns)

Accessing VitalSigns

• The workstation install creates a program group in the start menu that will open the copy of VitalSigns on the server by way of the workstation.
• You can also choose to create a desktop icon during the install.
• If you create a shortcut by hand, the target path should look something like this, with the install location on the server followed by a space and then the location of the workstation:
  F:\VitalSigns\VSNet.exe C:\Program Files\EbixLife\VitalSigns.
  

Updating the a Network CD Version

• You can update VitalSigns semimonthly using the workstation of your choice (You do not need to run the update from every workstation).
• When you access VitalSigns from any of the workstations after an Internet update, a Net Update will run, updating local files on that workstation.
