Installing the PEARL Module Server
If you are upgrading a previous version of the PEARL Module, you will not need to enter the practice key.
Before installing the PEARL Module, confirm that your operating system meets or exceeds the specifications listed in the system requirements for your practice management software.
The PEARL Module Server requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. You can download the .NET Framework from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net35-sp1.
Install the PEARL Module Server on the machine where your practice management data resides. Verify that the server is on, and that your practice management software is installed and launches successfully. Database services must be running for the PEARL Module to serve data to your handheld device.
You must install the server portion of PEARL Module on the server before you can install the software on a workstation. You must install the workstation portion of the software on each computer that functions as a workstation.
