Onboarding Guide: Installation

Like other advanced systems, the installation of Acctivate should be performed by a professional with experience and knowledge with the management of advanced computer systems. This includes knowledge and experience in installing software, networking and database administration. To state it simply, Acctivate is not a plug-and-play system, it will require time for installation, data migration and training. Of course, feel free to contact support or the Project Director with any issues you may encounter.

To perform a new Server or Workstation installation of Acctivate, perform the steps below. For detailed installation instructions, review our install documentation.

  1. Prepare for Install

    2. Close any open applications.
    3. Download Acctivate.

      • Workstation: Used to install Acctivate on all other computers, except the one designated as the server.

        Note: The workstation installation will ask for the AcctivateData directory. Typically, this is \\{ServerName}\AcctivateData.
