After you have installed the Pervasive PSQL and PracticeWorks software on the server, perform this procedure on each workstation in your practice. The PracticeWorks installer will install the Pervasive PSQL software and other necessary files on the computer before installing the PracticeWorks program files. The installation process is the same for both versions of the Pervasive PSQL software; however, the companion version of the database software is installed on the workstation to ensure that your data is properly managed.
