Terminal Server Installation
1. Download the current installation setup program as advised by CDA Software.
It’s a good idea to download this program into a permanent location on the server in case you need it again in the future. We recommend a folder named Updates inside the folder where your database(s) (will) reside.
2. If this is a new installation you should have received Licence details via email from CDA Software. Copy the Licence Name and Key from the email into a regular text file and save it in the same folder as the installation program in step 1. If it is a re-installation and your licence details are unchanged this text file may already be present and the details can be re-used. If neither of these apply contact CDA Software for a new Key.
3. Login to the Server as an Administrator and go to Control Panel – Add or Remove Programs. Click Add New Programs and browse to the installation setup program file downloaded in step 1, then select and run the setup program.
If your server does not have the latest version of the Microsoft Dot Net Framework (v.3 or later) installed, use Windows Update to install it befor running the Grain Trader setup program. A reboot may be required after installation.
Do not install the program simply by running the setup program from My Computer etc.
- You must accept the End User Licence Agreement to install the program.
- On the Setup Wizard’s Customer Information page under Install this application for: select the option Anyone who uses this computer (all users).
- On the Setup Wizard’s Setup Type page select the Custom option to install the Grain Trader 3 Licence Server. This is required only for Terminal Server installations.
4. After the Setup Wizard has completed, follow the prompts on the Windows Install Application dialog to complete the installation.
5. Copy the CDA Grain Trader 3 icon that has been placed on the Server Desktop and paste the copy on the Desktop also. Right-click the copy and select Properties from the context menu. On the Shortcut tab of the Properties window, add the words SERVER REGISTER at the end of the Target box, so that it looks like this (your path may be different):
"C:\Program Files\CDA Software\CDA Grain Trader 3\CDA Grain Trader 3.exe" SERVER REGISTER
6. Double-click the new shortcut. After a second or two you should see the Enter Key window where you can enter the Licence Name and Key, as advised by CDA Software and saved to a file in step 2 above.
It’s much easier and it avoids the likelihood of errors to copy these details from the text file and paste into the boxes on the Enter Key window.
The new shortcut is no longer required and can be deleted.
7. Open a Command prompt window and navigate to the folder:
C:\Program Files\CDA Software\XYWinService
8. Run the following commands in the Command window:
xywinservice –i
Followed by:
xywinservice –r
These commands install the Grain Trader 3 Licence Server as a Windows Service and start the service respectively.
9. Run Grain Trader 3 and verify it starts and runs OK. Login as a user and confirm the same.
If any users have been running a Demonstration & Evaluation version of Grain Trader, they may wish to clear the Most-Recently Used File entry for the demonstration database. To do this, they should select the Utility | User Options menu and the Most Recently Used Files branch on the tree menu, check the entry to be removed and click Delete Checked.
