4.4 Installing the Client

There is nothing on the AcuServer distribution media to install on the client machine. However, you should ensure that every client system that will use AcuServer has a licensed copy of an ACUCOBOL-GT AcuServer-enabled runtime, Version 5.0 and later. All Windows runtimes starting Version 5.0 are AcuServer-enabled. To verify that a UNIX runtime is AcuServer-enabled, use the "-v" option on the runtime command line of the client machine. The runtime will display information similar to the following:

ACUCOBOL-GT runtime version 5.0
Serial number 1234
Licensed for 2 processes
AcuServer client
Vision version 4 file system
Copyright (c) 1988 - 2000, Acucorp, Inc.

Look for the line "AcuServer client" and a runtime version number greater than 5.0. If either of these criteria are missing, the client machine will not be able to access data using AcuServer Version 5.0.
