System Requirements

Review System Requirements before beginning the upgrade process to ensure your client computer meets the minimum requirements for LeasePak 6.1a.

Each LeasePak client user requires the following:

  • An initial client string translated into server and DBMS server passwords.
  • A user account on the server, set up with the corresponding translated password and the LeasePak group.
  • A user account on the DBMS server with the corresponding translated password.
  • Permission to access at least one environment/database on the LeasePak server.

For more information, refer to LeasePak Users.

Procedure Overview

This is the procedure for installing LeasePak 6.1a on a client computer where a previous installation of LeasePak exists.

1. Remove any previous installations of LeasePak from the client computer.

Unless the user requires more than one version of LeasePak installed, NetSol recommends removing all earlier installations of LeasePak prior to installing version 6.1a General Availability (GA). If the user has a version of 6.1a Release Candidate (beta) installed, it must be removed prior to installing 6.1a GA. Use Add/Remove Programs from the Windows Control Panel to remove earlier installations of LeasePak.

Removing earlier installations of LeasePak may also remove ODBC driver and DBMS Client software installations. If you are retaining an existing version of LeasePak (5.0a or earlier), or require ODBC or DBMS Client software for other applications, verify that the necessary ODBC drivers and DBMS Client software are still installed after removing LeasePak.

2. Prepare the client computer for installation.
3. Run LeasePak Setup from the CD or network.
4. Install the LeasePak client software.

Select the installation appropriate to your needs: Typical or Custom

5. Configure the client software.

Perform the following required configurations:

  • LeasePak Setup Menu
  • Printer Configuration

Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Terminal Server only: complete the following additional configuration for each user's LeasePak installation on the computer. This procedure provides each user with individual LEASEPAK.INI and LPCODE.TXT files.
