Installing AppleWorks on a Network Server
You can install AppleWorks on a network server so that many users with read/write access can run
the same copy of the application. Most AppleWorks files can reside on the server, but personal
user dictionaries and other private documents can also be saved locally on the user’s computer.
AppleWorks usually runs more slowly over a network.
Multiple users sharing one copy of AppleWorks over a network cannot use all of the application’s
capabilities unless you install the following AppleWorks components on each user’s computer:
m
Special fonts used by the extensive Template collection
m
AppleWorks Help
Installing AppleWorks on a Server
These instructions describe how to install AppleWorks on a network server so multiple users
can use the same copy at the same time. If you are not the network administrator for the
server, you should get the administrator’s approval before installing AppleWorks.
AppleWorks 6 requires QuickTime 4.1.2. A QuickTime Installer is on the AppleWorks 6 CD-ROM
disc. Make sure that QuickTime 4.1.2 or later is installed on the network users’ computers.
AppleWorks 6 also uses Navigation Services, a feature included in Mac OS 8.5 and later. For
Mac OS 8.1 users, you must install the Navigation extension 1.01 on each user’s computer.
Select “Navigation Extension” when doing a custom installation.
1
Make sure that no one else is using the server.
2
Insert the AppleWorks CD-ROM disc into the drive.
3
Follow the instructions in “Doing an Easy Installation” on page 5 or “Doing a Custom
Installation” on page 5. If the server uses Mac OS 8.1, you may be required to restart after
installation.
4
Open the application and enter registration information if requested.
5
On each user’s computer, do a custom installation to install AppleWorks Help and fonts in
the user’s System Folder. If the user’s computer uses Mac OS 8.1, you must select “Navigation
Extension” to install the Navigation extension 1.01.
Users can now open AppleWorks over the network.
