System Requirements

Hinweise für Neuinstallation und Update

Double-click Setup_5.0.30077.exe to start the setup
Select the modules to be installed on that system
(Repeat on other systems for distributed processing)

Der erste Start nach der Installation
After installing ColorServer 5.0.3, the first start takes some minutes. As long as the server data are updated, the http-server is not running, the client is disconnected and shows the ‘red’ status. A pop-up message reminds to wait until the configuration is finished. The duration of the first start depends on the size of the server data and the computer performance. Once all data is updated, the Client connection will turn to the ‘green’ status. This is valid for new installations as well as for updates.
