Before Installation We recommend you to always install the software as a new installation, leaving t he possible previous version also

available. This way, you can still go on using the previou s version, should there arise any problems in the installation. Notice the following before installation : The HASP module driver

Vertex BD software has been protected with a HASP module which is connected to t he computer's USB port. In one user installation, the module is connected to the workstation.

In a network server installation, the modules are connected to the workstations using the server. In a license server installation, the module is connected to the license server.

The need to install the driver for the protection module depends on whether Vert ex BD has been previously installed to the computer or not. Vertex BD has been installed previously It is not necessary to reinstall the driver for a HASP module which has been con nected to the computer during previous installation of Vertex BD. Select No when the installat ion program asks if you would like to install the HASP driver included in the installation packag e. Vertex BD is installed for the first time When you install the Vertex BD software for the first time, we recommend you to connect the HASP module to the computer's USB port before starting the installation, and let the operating system get the latest driver for it automatically (requires network connection). In that case, it is not necessary to install the driver included in the installation package. Select No when the installation program asks it. Installing the driver from the installation package is necessary only in the fol lowing exceptional cases: For some reason, the operating system cannot find a driver for the HASP module. The operating system is Windows XP and the HASP module is to be connected to the

computer's parallel port. The operating system cannot find the driver automatica lly. The license key

The license key file license.txt has been delivered to your company's Vertex con tact person by email, compressed to a zip file. Uncompress the zip file to the C:\TEMP folder, for example, and browse to the file when installing Vertex. If the file is not available during installation, you can save it in the program 's user folder after the installation. The license key file is not needed, if a license server is included in the agree ment. See Installing a License Server, page 6. Maximum path length of installation folder is 64 characters

For example: C:\vxbd190\ \\server_name\folder_share_name\vxbd190_srv

Installation Options This guide describes installing the Vertex BD to a single workstation or to a ne twork server. The available installation options are: One User Installation, page 3

One user is an installation in which Vertex BD is installed to a single workstat ion. The software is used only on the workstation in question. Installation to a Network Server, page 4

Network server installation is an installation in which all workstation license users use the common Vertex BD environment on the network server. The created documents are instantly available to all designers. This instruction applies when a license key file is used to protect the software . If a license server is included in the agreement, first read the instruction Installing a License Serve r, page 6. Installing a License Server, page 6

Read this instruction first, if a license server is included in the agreement. A license server is an application for controlling the user rights of the software. One User Installation One user is an installation in which Vertex BD is installed to a single workstat ion. The software is used only on the workstation in question.

Starting the installation 1 Download the installation package from the Vertex BD support site and sa ve it to your computer. 2 Uncompress the file to the C:\TEMP folder, for example.

The installation program asks if you would like to use a license server. Select No.

8 The installation program asks if you would like to install the HASP driv er included in the installation package. Select No as a rule. See The HASP module driver, page 1. 9 The installation program may also ask for the location of the license ke y file license.txt. Browse to the folder in which you uncompressed the license key zip file.

If the program does not ask for the file, it is already included in the installa tion package. You can also copy the file to the user folder after the installation. In this ca se, skip the question by selecting Next. 10 If the computer has a 64 bit operating system, the installation program asks if the Vertex file extensions will be associated to the 32 bit or 64 bit executable. We recommend y ou to associate the file extension to the 64 bit executable. Select Yes. If the computer has a 32 bit operating system, the Vertex files are automaticall y associated to the 32 bit executable. The entire Vertex BD software is installed on your computers disc in the folder y ou have selected. If your computer has a 64 bit operating system, the installation program creates

two shortcut icons on your desktop: one for the 64 bit and one for the 32 bit application. We recommen d to use primarily the 64 bit application. If your computer has a 32 bit operating system, only one shortcut icon is create d. Installation to a Network Server Network server installation is an installation in which all workstation license users use the common Vertex BD environment on the network server. The created documents are instantly available to all designers. The installation order is: 1 2 Install the network server. Install a network user license to each workstation.

This instruction applies when a license key file is used to protect the software . If a license server is included in the agreement, the installation order is different: the license serv er is installed first. See Installing a License Server, page 6. Starting the installation The installation must be done physically on the server, not over the network. 1 Create a folder on the network server (for example C:\Vxbd190_srv), and share it to the network. 2 Make sure that the work stations, which will use the network server, hav e the following permissions: Full control to the folder where you will install the network server (security). Full control to the folder sharing (sharing).

The folder must be visible in the network before the installation of the network user licenses. We recommend you to connect to the folder from each work station using the same dri ve letter, for example \\Server_name\Vxbd190_srv = E:\ (you can use any free drive letter). 3 Download the installation package from the Vertex BD support site and sa ve it to the server. 4 Uncompress the file to the C:\TEMP folder, for example. As a result, you get a folder named Vertex-BD-2013-19-0-[XX]-[region]. 5 Double-click the installation program install.exe in the folder.

We recommend the default setting to prevent confusion. The entire Vertex BD network server is installed on the server computers disc. Installing the network user license 1 If this is the first time the Vertex BD software is installed on the wor kstation, plug in the HASP module to the USB port, and let the operating system get the latest driver for i t automatically. 2 On the workstation, run the client.bat in the networks server's installa tion folder. For example, \\Server_name\Vxbd190_srv\Client_Install\client.bat 3 The installation program asks if you would like to install the HASP driv er included in the installation package. Select No as a rule. See The HASP module driver, page 1. 4 If the computer has a 64 bit operating system, the installation program asks if the Vertex file extensions will be associated to the 32 bit or 64 bit executable. We recommend y ou to associate the file extension to the 64 bit executable. Select Yes. If the computer has a 32 bit operating system, the Vertex files are automaticall y associated to the 32 bit executable.

The program creates the pre-defined folder on the workstation (the default insta llation path for the network user licenses). If the es two on the end to the 64 workstation has a 64 bit operating system, the installation program creat shortcut icons desktop: one for the 64 bit and one for the 32 bit application. We recomm use primarily bit application.

If the workstation has a 32 bit operating system, only one shortcut icon is crea ted. The files needed for starting the program are not copied to the workstation duri ng installation. The necessary files will be copied from the network server when the network user lic ense is started for the first time. So, the first start up will take some time. These files will be updated through the network server when necessary. When the network server is updated, all the network user licenses using the server will be updated automati cally. For example, the service packs are only installed on the server. A network server and a network user license using the server can both be install ed on the same computer. Installing a License Server A license server is an application for controlling the user rights of the softwa re. Using a license server enables the use of Vertex BD software on workstations without a HASP module of t heir own. The license server must be agreed upon separately when the software product is order ed. If a license server is included in the agreement, the installation order of the software is: 1 2 3 Install the license server. Install the network server. Install a network user license to each workstation.

The installation requires an lt_llist file, which has been delivered to your com pany's Vertex contact person by email, compressed to a zip file. Uncompress the file to the C:\TEMP fo lder, for example. A license server can also be used without a network server. This guide only desc ribes using a license server with a network server. Starting the installation The installation must be done physically on the server, not over the network.

1 Download the installation package from the Vertex BD support site and sa ve it to the server where you will install the license server. 2 Uncompress the file to the C:\TEMP folder, for example. As a result, you get a folder named Vertex-BD-2013-19-0-[XX]-[region]. 3 Double-click the installation program install.exe in the folder.
