2 Single workplace installation

With the single workplace version tiamo light or tiamo full, you can install
both the tiamo client and the server on the computer.

The installation process starts automatically when you insert the CD into

1

the drive. If this option is deactivated on your computer, double-click on
the setup.exe file.

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

Afterwards, click on [Next >].

During the installation process, the Welcome screen appears first. Click on

2

[Next >] to install the software.

After having read the license agreement for tiamo and accepted it with

3

[Yes], a window will appear where you can enter the license code.

Enter the license code for tiamo light or tiamo full and then click on

4

[Next >].

NOTE

If you have entered the license code of an update license, then the
license code of the previous full version will additionally be requested.

Now confirm the target folder for the tiamo installation with [Next >] or

5

select a different target folder with [Browse…].

You can define the paths for the database and default backup files in the

6

Additional installation information window:

8.101.8056EN

NOTE

The default paths are different for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Win­dows 7 and Windows 8.

The database path must not be on a network drive.

The default backup path may be on a network drive.

You can change the ports tiamo uses to communicate with the database
server and the administration server with the [Advanced…] button. If

3

the ports are already used, an appropriate error message will appear. Ask
your system administrator for more information about this. Continue with
[Next >].

Follow the instructions of the program until the following message

7

appears:

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

tiamo will now be installed.

Once the copying procedure has been completed you can make further

8

workplace settings:

The option This client ID must exist in the current tiamo system.
can only be activated if a database from a previous installation already
exists on your computer or if you want to connect to a database server
which is installed on another computer (the latter case only applies to
tiamo multi).

If you enable this option, then tiamo 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

4

8.101.8056EN

case, check your server and firewall settings before installing the program
again.

At the end of the installation, the file info.txt will be created. This file

9

contains all relevant information concerning your current tiamo installa­tion. Save this file on your hard drive for future reference and print it (add
to IQ).

NOTE

An InstallLog file can be found in the installation directory of tiamo
under …bin\InstallLog. It contains a listing of all files copied to your
computer during the installation and a confirmation that the installa­tion has been successfully completed.

Complete the installation with [Finish].

3 Client/server installation

With the tiamo multi version (multi-client version with three licenses) you can
select during the installation whether you want to install only a Client or a
client and a server (database server) on your computer.

If you want to install only a client on your computer, a server to which the cli­ent will be connected must have been previously installed on another com­puter.

Follow steps 1 to 5 of the single workplace installation (see Chapter 2,

1

page 2).

The Additional installation information dialog appears. Here you can

2

select whether you want to install only a Client or a client and a server
(database server) on your computer.
