ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Installing Word Pro on a network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Installing Word Pro on a network
You can install Word Pro for OS/2 on any Local Area Network (LAN) compatible
with OS/2 Warp. Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path names are supported for
node path names. Anywhere you can specify a node path name, you can specify a
UNC path name. In addition, Install supports the OS/2 High Performance File
System (HPFS).
Make sure you have Administrator (Read-Write-Delete-Access Control) access to
the network drive and directory where you want to install Word Pro.
Word Pro offers a flexible network installation. During installation on the
network server, you can specify paths for each user's scripts, documents,
SmartMasters, SmartIcons, or clip art. You can specify paths on the network or
on the user's local workstation. If you specify paths on the network, you can
decide if each user accesses common server directories or their individual
node directories. If you specify paths on the user's local workstation, you
can decide whether the user can edit the paths.
You can configure each user differently. For example, you can configure all
users in the Sales Department to share common directories on the network. You
can configure all users in the Marketing Department to share common
SmartMaster and script directories on the network, but store other files locally.
During Install, you can specify the number of licenses you purchased for Word
Pro. Licenser determines how many concurrent users can run Word Pro from their workstations.
After installing Word Pro on the network server, there are several methods of
setting up each individual user's workstation to run Word Pro. You can use the
Administrator's Node Install to automate copying scripts, documents,
SmartMasters, SmartIcons, or clip art to each user's node directory on the
file server. You can also instruct each user to run Node Install from their
local workstation and copy scripts, documents, SmartMasters, SmartIcons, or
clip art from the network server.
For additional information about installing Word Pro on a network, refer to
the READNET.TXT file located on Install Disk 1.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Overwriting existing paths ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Overwriting existing paths
Install checks for an existing release of Word Pro. If Install finds existing
SCRIPTS, DOCS, SMASTERS, ICONS, or DRAWSYM directories, it displays the paths
to those directories. You can leave the existing paths and overwrite any files
with similar names or specify different directories.
If you modified any scripts, sample documents, SmartMasters, SmartIcons, or
clip art files provided with Word Pro for OS/2 and saved the changes to the
original file names, you should specify another path. Otherwise, you can
install these files into the existing directories.
To specify directories for SmartMasters, documents, scripts, icons, and clip
art
1. Specify the complete paths to the directories where you want to install
the Word Pro scripts, sample documents, SmartMasters, SmartIcons, and
clip art.
2. Choose OK.
Install installs the files into the directories you specified.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Using licenser ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Using licenser
Lotus Licenser tracks software licensing for all Lotus applications. Licenser
determines the number of users that can concurrently run Word Pro from their
workstations. In addition, Licenser monitors software usage and tracks the
number of users that are denied access to a Lotus application because all
licenses were in use.
Licenser creates a directory named LOTSHARE. Each Lotus application creates a
license directory off LOTSHARE. Each license directory contains license files
for that product and a log file. LOTSHARE must appear as a root directory to
all users.
You can manage the licenses using the Windows-based Licenser utility located
in \AMIPRO\INSTALL.
For additional information on Licenser, start Licenser and choose Help.
1. Specify a network drive letter for LOTSHARE.
If Install locates a LOTSHARE directory, but it does not contain active
OS/2 licenses, a path displays instead.
2. Specify the number of licenses you purchased.

Using node install information
After installing Word Pro on the network file server, there are several
methods of setting up each individual user's workstation to run Word Pro.
You can use the Administrator's Node Install to automate copying scripts,
documents, SmartMasters, SmartIcons, or clip art to each user's node directory
on the file server.
You can also instruct each user to run Node Install from their local
workstation and copy scripts, documents, SmartMasters, SmartIcons, or clip art
from the network server.
You can configure each user differently. For example, you can configure all
users in the Sales Department to share common directories on the network. You
can configure all users in the Marketing Department to share common
SmartMaster and script directories on the network, but store other files locally.
For additional information about installing Word Pro on a network, refer to
the READNET.TXT file located on Install Disk 1.
1. Choose Install to copy the Word Pro program files to the network file server.
Install copies the Word Pro program files to the path you specified.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 20. Using Word Pro on a network ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Using Word Pro on a network
Once you install Word Pro on the server and set up each user node, multiple
users can run Word Pro from their workstations.
All users must have Read-Write-Create-Delete-Attribute rights to directories
that contain documents they need to edit.
If the users on a network are sharing documents, Word Pro provides file
locking to protect against the possibility of simultaneous data update
attempts. When a user opens a document, the original file changes to read-only
and can be modified only by that user. When the original user closes the
document, Word Pro changes the rights to read-write so another user may edit it.
Another user can open a read-only file and save changes to it only if the
changes are saved to a different file name.
If Word Pro is terminated abnormally, as in the case of a power failure, some
documents may be left in read-only mode. You can change the files back to
read-write using the Word Pro File Manager.
