Before updating the PracticeWorks software on a workstation, install the program files on the server and ensure the installation (PWORKS) folder on the server is shared. A network drive must be mapped to the server for each workstation running the software. Additionally, you must perform the update procedure on each workstation running the software.
To upgrade a workstation to PracticeWorks, version 10.1:
Ensure that PracticeWorks, version 10.1, is installed on the server.
Open PracticeWorks on the workstation you are updating in one of the following ways:
Double-click the PracticeWorks icon on your desktop.
Select Start > All Programs > PracticeWorks > PracticeWorks.
A message alerts you that a new version of the software is detected and asks if you want to upgrade the workstation.
Click Yes. The Welcome window is displayed.
Read the message and click Next. The Choose Destination Location window is displayed.
Review the information and click Next. As the workstation files are installed, the PracticeWorks Practice Management Software Workstation Installation window is displayed.
If you have upgraded the version of Pervasive PSQL software on the server, the Information window is displayed informing you that the client software must be installed. After the Pervasive software is installed, the workstation installation resumes, and the PracticeWorks Practice Management Software Workstation Installation window is displayed.
After the workstation program files are installed, you are prompted to restart your computer.
Click OK. When your computer restarts, the PracticeWorks icon is displayed on your desktop.
Double-click the icon to access the software.
Repeat these steps on each workstation on your network.
