16 Getting Started With AuthorIT
The following topics provide in‐depth instructions on installing and configuring
AuthorIT, ready to use, including the additional (and sometimes optional) steps
required to create user accounts and work with a SQL Server database.
If you are upgrading, please refer to Upgrading from a Previous Version of AuthorIT
(on page 9) before you continue.
Step 1 - Installing the AuthorIT Server and Administration
Components
Before you install AuthorIT on each client computer, youʹll need to install AuthorITʹs
server‐based and administration components:
Shared data files including Library databases and various templates are installed
on the server.
The AuthorIT Administrator program that you use to manage AuthorITʹs user
security and other settings is installed on the Administratorʹs computer.
AuthorITʹs installation process makes installing across a network easier and more
streamlined. We recommend that you complete this procedure from a client
workstation that can view the server and has the appropriate rights to install
programs onto it.
