You will first come across a "Getting Started" section which briefs you on a few very important points worth knowing before you actually install/setup GENEXUS CORPORATE. You may also go over the minimum requirements needed to successfully install and run GENEXUS CORPORATE in your working environment by referring to the "Requirements" section. If your target environment is a stand-alone computer then you can turn to the specific setup option that directly interests you. If you are a network administrator, you will find information on how to setup GENEXUS CORPORATE on a shared directory or a network file server, under the "GENEXUS CORPORATE Network Setup" section. There is also a specific section covering "GENEXUS CORPORATE Network Workstation Setup". Before running your installed version of GENEXUS CORPORATE you will have to authorize it. The authorizing process is explained in detail under the section titled "Using GENEXUS CORPORATE License Manager". Users who make use of a particular generator will need to follow the setup instructions and check in the list of generators that require authorization to see if the generator they have chosen to use need to be authorized. When you request site keys from your distributors it is compulsory that you fill-in the 'Request License Authorization Form'. This form is included with every purchase of GENEXUS CORPORATE. Do not forget to read the section titled "Tips and License Error Messages" because it surely broadens your knowledge and helps you avoid nasty errors. There is also a section that covers "GENEXUS CORPORATE AS/400 Library Installation" for those users who are using RPG/400 or COBOL/400 generators. We have also included a section that explains how to Install GENEXUS CORPORATE Patches. This has been incorporated to the manual as it, in itself, is an entire installation process. 0 Introduction COPYRIGHT ARTech 1988 - 2000. All rights reserved.
