Chapter 3 Installing AuthorIT 33
[OPTIONS] Section
This section contains options that may be selected.
NOPC=PROMPT
The NOPC option tells the setup system what to do when netsetup.exe is run from
a PC that does not have an entry in the INI file. PROMPT tells netsetup.exe to
prompt for all the information required to install components. Anything else causes
the setup to terminate.
XXXSERIAL Section
There are a number of sections containing serial number allocation information. They
identify the type of serial number and the allocation status. This information is not
used directly by the netsetup program, but is used internally by the AuthorIT
administrator.
[AITSERIAL] contains the AuthorIT serial numbers.
[ADMINSERIAL] contains the AuthorIT Administrator serial numbers. They are the
same as the AuthorIT ones.
[PROJSERIAL] contains the AuthorIT Project Manager serial numbers.
[DISCSERIAL] contains the AuthorIT Offline Authoring serial numbers.
[MIFSERIAL] contains the AuthorIT FrameMaker MIF file conversion facility serial
numbers.
Each line in the section lists a serial number and its status. The status may be either
the name of a client PC to which it is allocated, or unallocated.
Serial Numbers
AuthorIT serial numbers are 9 digit numbers.
Serial numbers are not validated when they are entered at this stage. They are checked
during the actual client install, so that if a typo is made entering a number, it will get
picked up when the client installation process is run.
There is a special case serial number. The Offline Authoring, MIF Filter, and Project
Manager modules supplied with the standard AuthorIT installations are evaluation
versions. To enable these to be selectively installed to client PCs, a serial number of
"eval" can be used.
