The purpose of this document is to discuss the minimum requirements to deploy WireCAD in a multi-user environment in a closed network. New information will be presented interspersed with links to existing topics.
Minimum System Requirements
Client
Your clients are required to install WireCAD fully. This requires the following:
- Windows operating system of Win2K or higher.
- 1Gig RAM for 32bit machines and 2Gig for 64bit machines. This is the minimum; more is recommended.
- 180Meg hard drive storage. This is the install minimum; more may be required based on configuration.
WireCAD will require Admin privileges to install. Be sure to test final configuration under a standard user.
Server
Your server should be configured with the following:
- MS SQL Server 2005 or 2008. See Setup_SQL_Server for more information.
- MS SQL Server Management Studio.
 Note: MS SQL Server will place database files in the C:\Program Files\MSSQL Server directories by default. This is not good practice as most backup software ignores the Program Files directory.
|
- Network shares for shared documents. We recommend a shared Projects area and a shared Global data area.
Step by Step
- Install WireCAD on at least one client.
- Install and configure server with SQL Server.
- Install SQL Server Management Studio.
- Setup the default WireCAD database user as described in Setup_SQL_Server.
- Attach the Global Database as described in Setup_SQL_Server.
- Modify the default file save location for your SQL Server as described in Setup_SQL_Server.
- Set up a network share and permissions for all potential WireCAD Users (maybe define a group).
- Configure all clients to see the server as described in Setup Multiuser.
If you wish to use WireCAD's built-in security to limit user's capabilities within the application follow the steps as described in:
