Shortcut Installation

The Shortcut Installation option (also known as Concordance Workstation) installs files necessary to run Concordance locally from another server installation.  Default registry settings are created on the local workstation and a workstation desktop shortcut is provided that is linked to the Concordance installation on your server.  The actual Concordance software is not installed on the local workstation.

Important

Be sure that Concordance is properly installed on the server before initiating a Shortcut Installation.  

Important

If you will be using shortcut installations of Concordance 10.24+, make sure the following directories on the Concordance Server are shared with the workstations where the shortcut will be installed:

The program data folder (C:\ProgramData\CloudNine\Concordance 10).  Only the Concordance 10 folder needs to be shared, not the entire root ProgramData folder.

The program files folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\CloudNine\Concordance 10).

Important

Do not install Concordance Workstation unless the server and/or workstation data has been backed up.  If you use a backup application that locks files it may cause read/write failures to the Concordance database if it is being used.  For that reason, be sure to schedule backups with your IT group or administrator, and confirm that any Concordance files are not being used while a backup is performed.

Note

The e-documents import wizard is only compatible with the fully installed version of Concordance.  This feature is not available for a Concordance Workstation installation.

 

1.Confirm that the program data folder on the Concordance server has been shared with this local workstation.

3.Uninstall any previous version of Concordance that you have installed on this local workstation from the Control Panel.
