Using a Network Server
These instructions are for network administrators who want to set up AppleWorks on a server
for network access. You can set up AppleWorks for multiple users in either of the following ways:
m
Copy the appropriate Installer from the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc to a folder on the
server so users can install AppleWorks on their computers from the server. This is the
recommended method.
m
Install AppleWorks on a network server so multiple users can use one copy of the application.
Setting Up an AppleWorks Installer on a Server
To set up an AppleWorks Installer on a server so that users can install AppleWorks onto their
own computers from the server:
1
Create a folder on the server named AppleWorks Installation (or a similar name).
2
Open the new folder.
3
Insert the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc into the drive.
4
From the CD-ROM window, drag all the files to the folder you created on the server.
5
Close the folder. With the folder still selected, choose Sharing from the File menu (or choose
Get Info from the File menu, then choose Sharing from the submenu).
6
Set permissions so users and groups can read the contents of the folder but can’t make changes.
For more information about setting privileges and sharing folders, see the documentation that
came with your computer. If you are working directly on the server, you must set permissions
using the AppleShare Admin program. See your AppleShare documentation for instructions.
The installation folder is now set up for users to install AppleWorks over the network. To begin
installation, users double-click the appropriate Installer icon.
Warning
You may install AppleWorks on a network for use by multiple computers only if
you have either (1) installed software that locks out any concurrent users in excess of the
number of licensed copies of AppleWorks, or (2) paid for an authorized, licensed copy of
AppleWorks for each computer connected to the network. Contact Apple or an authorized
Apple reseller if you need to license additional copies of AppleWorks.
