38 Getting Started With AuthorIT
Step 8 - Setting up AuthorIT using an Application Server
Enterprise (with Floating Licenses) and SQL Server
Windows Terminal Services, Citrix MetaFrame and Citrix Presentation Server allow
applications to be distributed over a wide area and used on many different operating
systems. The Citrix products even allow AuthorIT to be run on Macintosh or Unix
computers.
Put simply, many instances of AuthorIT run on an Application Server, which sends
information to the Client computers for them to display on screen. The Client
computers in return sends mouse click, key stroke and clipboard information back to
the Application Server.
Working with an Application Server creates additional installation requirements:
Each Client computer should see the Library and external files (HTML templates
etc) at the same location
Each Client computer must publish to their own publishing folder
Each Client computer must maintain their own dictionaries
Each Client computer must create their own separate log files when importing
and publishing
These requirements are best addressed using a login script.
Note: Before AuthorIT is installed on the Application Server, the File Server and
Database Server should be installed and running. At least one Fixed license should be
installed to allow administrator functions to be used against the library. The Floating
License Key should be inserted into your library using the AuthorIT Administrator
(Security > Floating Licenses...)
