Installing a New Copy of Control on your Server

To install Control on your server, follow these steps:

  1. Verify that your server meets the minimum specs for the Control installation. The minimum specs are on the setup steps webpage.
  1. Insert security key or dongle in an empty USB slot. It is a good idea to plug it into a slot in the rear of the computer. This will prevent people from accidentally knocking it out of place or removing it thinking it is a flash drive.
  1. When a message pops up asking if you would like to install drivers, click No.
  1. Insert disc into the CD drive on your server or main computer. The server is the computer that will host the Control program and where your database will reside.
