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 dedicated server network is a network where a single computer has been designated as the computer
that all other computers on the network will rely upon to manage the network’s information and resources.
This computer, usually isolated from the rest of the network in a separate room or closet, has been
“dedicated” to “serve” the other computers on the network. A dedicated server computer will not be used
as a workstation.
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.

1. At a machine that is actively using ProForm, select Start > Run. The Run dialog box displays.
2. Enter odbcad32 in the Open field and click OK.
3. Select the entry PfPx and click Configure.
4. Copy the Database path on the following line:
__________________________________________________________________
NOTE: To determine the actual location, exclude Setup\1\..\..PfPx.MDB. In the example above,
the actual destination location that SoftPro should be installed to is C:\program files\softpro.
In most Dedicated Server 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 attained in Step 4.
