Installation and Updates

Installation and Updates using a DVD

The first delivery is sent to the customer on a DVD containing the MONITOR software and database. All updates and supplement files can also be delivered on a DVD, via FTP, or via the "MONITOR Update". The configuration and license files are usually delivered either by e-mail or via FTP. The system is installed by using the installation program that accompanies the software delivery. You will also find installation instructions on the DVD that will guide you through the installation process. A complete installation of MONITOR takes up approximately 900 Mb, including one or several empty databases*.

* Databases in the system will grow in size as more data is entered into the database in the form of registrations and transactions. Databases larger than 3 Gb is not uncommon. It all depends on how many entries are made, and how large the different registers are. It is possible for you to maintain the databases by purging logs and moving old transactions to historical registers in order for the databases' space can be reused.
