click the file setup.exe.

If the minimum system requirements are not met (see above) a message
appears. Click on [Yes] if you like to install the program nevertheless.

Afterwards, click on [Next].

After having read the license agreement for MagIC Net and accepting it

define the path for the database and backup files:

Note

The default paths differ in Windows Vista and Windows 2000 or Win­dows XP.

Under [Advanced...] it is possible to change the ports MagIC Net uses to

This message points out which ports MagIC Net uses. Write down these
ports and inform your system administrator in case MagIC Net is not able
to connect to the database. Confirm the message with [OK].

As soon as the copying procedure has been terminated you can carry out

further Workplace settings:

The option "This computer identifier must exist in the current MagIC
Net system." is only selectable if a database entry already exists from a
previous installation on your computer or if you want to connect a database
server which has already been installed on another computer.

If you activate this option MagIC Net checks whether the identifier you
have entered exists in the database. If this is true the identifier and all asso­ciated settings will be adopted. With this option a renewed installation of
a client is much easier.

Click on [Next]. If the database ports are not available, an appropriate
message will appear and the installation will be cancelled. In this case, check
your server and firewall settings before starting the installation again.

At the end of the installation the file info.txt will be created which contains

all relevant information concerning your current MagIC Net installation.
Save this file on your computer in case of need in future and print it (add to
IQ). Complete the installation with [Finish].

An InstallLog file with a list of all files having been copied to your computer
and with a confirmation for a successful installation is saved in the MagIC
