Installation
Important
Notes:
-
If SmartBOL Classic or
Enterprise is already installed on the machine,
backup data files
from data folder and uninstall SmartBOL.
-
If you are upgrading to
newer version, make sure that your support
contract is active. Newer version of SmartBOL may
not work with older keys. In addition, SmartBOL
will upgrade your data files and may make them
unusable with your earlier version.
-
QuickBooks Interface on
Terminal Server: Install SmartBOL from console
otherwise it will not work with QuickBooks.
Installation Steps:
Each machine, SmartBOL
Classic or Enterprise software is installed on, must
be licensed. Refer to SmartBOL licensing
policy here.
Classic version:
Run SmartBOL installer from CD or downloaded
file. Accept all defaults. After installation is
complete, double click on the SmartBOL icon on the
desktop and enter (preferably, copy and paste) name
and key when prompted.
Network Install:
After running SmartBOL at least once on one of the
machines, create a shared folder on this or another
machine. On this folder, grant read and write
permissions to all Windows users that are using
SmartBOL (very important). Copy dbd2.mdb,
dbm2.mdb, dbuser2.mdb and, if present, dbexport.mdb to
the shared folder. Open SmartBOL and set data file
location to this folder and restart SmartBOL. If
"error while saving" is displayed, you do not have
proper folder permissions. Contact your network
administrator.
