Due to Apteryx's unique SIMU technology (Single Installation, Multiple Use), Apteryx Imaging only requires one install on a company's network. Once installed, any client workstation can automatically run the application without performing additional installations on each computer.

A PAC license is needed for each client workstation running Apteryx Imaging applications from the network. An error message will be displayed if attempting to setup more computers than the number of PAC licenses purchased. More licenses can be obtained by contacting your sales representative.

Once an installation is complete, shortcuts and desktop icons are only created on the computer that ran the installlation. Perform the following steps on each additional client workstation to create local Start Menu shortcuts and desktop icons.

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the installation directory on the server computer. Typically, Apteryx imaging applications are installed in ...\Program Files\Apteryx\Apteryx Imaging\ directory on the server.

2. Launch Apteryx Imaging by double-clicking on the appropriate application file (XVassistant.exe or XVLite.exe).

3. To create local shortcuts:

   • In XrayVision, select Help > Create Local Shortcuts from the menu.

     

   • In XVLite, select Preferences and then click on the Create Local Shortcuts button.

     

Setting up Name Grabber On A Client Workstation

Due to Apteryx's unique SIMU technology (Single Installation, Multiple Use), Name Grabber only requires one install on a company's network. Once installed, any client workstation can automatically run the application without performing additional installations on each computer.

A typical network installation of Name Grabber consists of installing the application on a server. Since the server is a shared resource with all of the computers on the network, each client workstation will have access to the application.

Perform the following steps on each additional client workstation to set up Name Grabber.

1. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the installation directory on the server computer. Typically, Apteryx imaging applications and Name Grabber are installed in ...\Program Files\Apteryx\Apteryx Imaging\ directory on the server.

2. Run the Name Grabber.exe application file.

3. Once the application starts for the first time on the client workstation, a dialog box will display offering the choice to start Name Grabber automatically whenever Windows starts. Select the Yes button to automatically start Name Grabber automatically. Note: Selecting Yes inserts a Name Grabber icon in the Windows Start Up menu, therefore, launching the application whenever the computer in booted up and Windows starts.
   
   

4. Once the application launches on the client workstation, a Name Grabber icon will appear in Window's System Tray (at the bottom-right of the screen, next to the clock) indicating the application is running.
