The first step in setting up PracticeWorks is installing the Pervasive PSQL data management software on the server. After you have installed Pervasive PSQL, install PracticeWorks onto the server computer. Finally, perform a workstation installation for any other computers that are used to access the software.
To install the Pervasive PSQL data management software on your server:
Shut down all workstations in your network and close all programs on the server.
Navigate to the folder where the Installer files are saved. Locate and double-click the CS PracticeWorks Install.exe file. The PracticeWorks Installer menu is displayed.
Select Install Pervasive PSQL v11 and WSetup Components. An important message is displayed.
Read the message and click OK. The Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for Pervasive PSQL v11 Server Engine (32-bit) window is displayed.
Read the welcome message and click Next. The License Agreement window is displayed.
Read the license agreement carefully, select I accept the terms in the license agreement, and click Next. The Setup Type window is displayed.
To install all program features, select Complete and click Next. The Ready to Install the Program window is displayed.
If a version of this software is detected by the installer, a message is displayed to inform you that the existing software is being upgraded to this version.
To begin the software installation, click Install. The Installing PSQL window is displayed.
After the installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard Completed window is displayed.
Click Next. The PSQL Authorization window is displayed.
Enter the PSQL product key provided by your Carestream Dental representative.
Click Authorize. The Pervasive PSQL v11 Installation Utility window is displayed, followed by a message when the installation is complete.
Click OK. You are prompted to restart your computer.
Click OK.
Perform this procedure if you are installing the software for the first time. This sets up the server’s database and is referred to as the data installation. The data installation is performed only on the server, and only after installing Pervasive PSQL.
