The option This client ID must exist in the current MagIC Net sys­tem is only selectable if a database from a previous installation already

exists on your computer or if you want to connect to a database server
which has been installed on another computer.

If you activate this option, then 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 reinstalling a client is
much easier.

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