Network Installation

General

ABBYY Lingvo 11 provides convenient tools for network installation and operation. The installation of ABBYY Lingvo 11 consists of two stages:

1. Installing ABBYY Lingvo 11 on the server;

2. Installing ABBYY Lingvo 11 on LAN workstations using one of the five methods below

• Active Directory.

• Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS).

• Task Scheduler.

• Command line.

• Manual interactive mode.

Automated installation methods give you speed and flexibility when installing Lingvo 11 in a corporate network because you do not need to install the program manually on each workstation. Note: Even though you can install ABBYY Lingvo on a workstation from the installation CD–ROM, we do not recommend using this method because in this case most of the licence management capabilities become unavailable.

Installing Lingvo on the Server

To create an administrative installation point, run the setup.exe file with the /a command–line option from the ABBYY Lingvo 11 installation CD–ROM:

setup.exe /a

The setup program will ask you to specify a folder in which to create the administrative installation point. This must be a shared network folder that can be accessed from any workstation on which you are planning to install the program (e.g. \\MyServer\Programs\Lingvo 11AdminSetup). Once you have installed Lingvo 11 on the server, this folder will contain:

• Files required for installing Lingvo on local workstations

• Information about the available licences and the Licence Manager utility

• This System Administrator's Guide

• Setup.exe.

To create an administrative installation point, the Lingvo installation wizard copies the files mentioned above from the installation CD–ROM into a shared network folder. Administrative installation can be performed from any computer. Once the administrative installation point has been created, you must do the following:

. Run the Licence Manager.

2. Add additional licences if required.

3. Activate all of the available licences. Now you can deploy Lingvo on the workstations. Important! Do not move the administrative installation folder after you have deployed Lingvo on the workstations or after you have activated the licences, because the path to this folder will be stored on the workstations and in the licence files.

Administrative Installation Folder Requirements

2. Read permissions for the administrative installation folder for all Lingvo users.

3. Write permissions for the We recommend limiting the users’ rights as follows: Unite all the users working with Lingvo into one group and give this group the read permissions for the administrative installation folder, the right to create their own files in the Licence Manager folder, and the right to delete files in the which were created by users of the same group. This will prevent potential problems with administratively installed ABBYY Lingvo 11

4. The number of connections supported by the server on which the administrative installation folder will be located must not be less than the total number of Lingvo users (only for supports only ten connections at a time, which means that Lingvo cannot be deployed on more than ten workstations.

5. The administrative installation folder must be accessible form all the workstations.

Three major installation scripts are implemented in ABBYY Lingvo 11 can be installed using the 'Assign to Computer" script. Lingvo will be installed on the workstation once the workstation has been restarted. Installation by means of the "Publish to User" and 'Assign to User" scripts is not supported.
