The option "The client ID must exist in the current tiamo system." is
only activatable 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.

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.
