IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with any installation, please backup all SoftPro data. A separate
document named Software Upgrade Pre-Installation; Backing Up SoftPro Data is provided, which
outlines how to locate and backup SoftPro data.
A peer-to-peer network is a simple office network where each computer on the network is considered an
equal (or “peer”) to every other computer on the network. The easiest way to identify a peer-to-peer
network is to answer the following question: “Is every computer in the office used by someone as a
workstation?” If so, it is probably a peer-to-peer network.
NOTE: The installation disc should only be used to install the upgrade on the machine that is acting as
the server for SoftPro. The installation disc is not used to install the applications on the Client
Workstation. The installation of the software is achieved by accessing the setup files located on the
server.
DeterminingtheCurrentInstallationofSoftProinaPeertoPeerNetwork
1. At a machine that is actively using ProForm, select Tools > Preferences.
2. Locate the On-Line Files Directory path.
3. Copy the path on the following line:
__________________________________________________________________
NOTE: In some configurations, the path may end with \Data. To determine the actual location,
exclude Data. In the example above, the actual destination location that SoftPro should be
installed to is \\server\softpro.
In some configurations, the path may begin with a map drive letter such as F:\ or Z:\. In this case
it is necessary to determine where this drive is mapped to. In other configurations, the path may
have a reference to a UNC path such as \\server\softpro\p1win.mdb. In this case, the
destination location is the SoftPro directory on a machine named Server.
Because the installation needs to be performed on the machine that is acting as a server, it is
necessary to determine which machine is acting as the server. Below is a guide to determine
which machine is acting as the SoftPro server based upon the information obtained in Step 4.
If the path is begins with C:\, the machine that was checked in Step 1 above is the machine
acting as the SoftPro Server.
