Clients installation¶
The installation of the client applications can be done on any Windows-based computer. You can install the client applications on the same computer where the server applications are installed (with exception of BackupClient) or on any other computer with connection to the server applications.
Licensing¶
For the installation of the client applications no own license is needed. Only the server applications need a license.
Installation requirements¶
The octoplant setup file needs to be accessible. The user or user account used for the installation must have administrator rights.
Where are the setup files located?¶
When installing a octoplant server system, you can select the option to create a network share, where all client setup files are stored. If this procedure was performed during the installation of your server applications, you can start the program Setup.exe using the directory on the network share.
Call the setup directory (vdog client setup) on the network share of the octoplant server using the following path: \\[octoplantServername]\vdog client setup or \\\[IP address]\vdog client setup.
If you cannot access the client setup directory on a network share, you must ask your system administrator for a copy of the directory.
FAQ¶
Incorrectly displayed characters
We have improved Unicode support. Not all Unicode characters are displayed correctly by older operating systems. The exact range of supported Unicode characters depends on the Windows version used and the installed language packs.
Encryption of client-server communication
All client-server communication is encrypted using TLS1.2 or TLS1.3.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) contains software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit http://www.openssl.org/.
