Installing Therefore™ on Additional Servers

Prerequisites

Additional Therefore™ Servers can be installed on Therefore™ Business or Enterprise edition systems. The Server item is only visible in the Therefore™ Solution Designer if a Therefore™ Business or Enterprise edition license with two or more server licenses is used.

Installation

  1. Install the first Therefore™ Server as normal.

  2. Open the Therefore™ Solution Designer and expand the Therefore™ object. Right-click on Server and select 'Add Server'.

  3. Enter a name for the server under Server Name. This is the name that will appear in the Therefore™ Solution Designer. Then fill in the Computer Name, Domain, and Site for the server you're adding and click OK when done.

  4. A message will pop up warning that before being able to use the newly added Server, license points must be distributed.

  5. Right-click on the Therefore™ root object and select License.

  6. Remove the desired number of licenses from the first server by changing the amount in the Assigned column. For example, if you have 30 concurrent users and wish to distribute 10 to the second server, delete '30' and enter '20'. You will then see the other 10 licenses in the Remaining column.

  7. Now select the second server from the drop-down box for 'Choose a Server'. Enter the desired amount of licenses you wish to distribute to this server in the Assigned column and click 'OK'.

  8. Install the second Therefore™ Server. Run the Therefore™ Configuration Wizard and go to the Activation tab. Select the option 'Connect (Use existing Therefore™ activation from database)' and connect to the first server's database.
