Installation, Licensing, and Data Migration =========================================== For detailed installation and licensing instructions, please refer to the "CORE 5.0 Installation Guide". This document is located in the 'Docs' directory on the CORE 5.0 CD and can also be obtained on our website at http://www.vitechcorp.com/docs.html. For information on migrating data from a previous version of CORE, please contact Product Support to obtain the latest "CORE 5.0 Data Migration Guide". Additional Installation Notes ----------------------------- The installation program will create a new program group entry on the start menu with the title "CORE Enterprise 5.0 Client". It contains an icon labeled "CORE Enterprise 5.0 Client". To run CORE, simply click on this menu item. You can also launch CORE Enterprise by double-clicking directly on CORE50E.EXE. Please note that CORE Enterprise is a client-server application. The client can only be run in conjunction with the CORE Enterprise Server software. For details on configuring CORE Enterprise client and server, please refer to "CORE 5.0 Installation Guide". CORE On-line Help and Documentation =================================== The CORE user reference guide is accessible as an on-line reference available from within CORE Workstation or CORE Enterprise Client. To access context sensitive help from a specific window, simply click in the window and press the F1 function key. If you prefer to navigate by volume, flip through the index, or simply perform an electronic search, the on-line help will meet your needs. Also available from the CORE 5.0 program group entry on the Start menu are shortcuts to documentation including: * What’s New * CORE System Definition Guide * CORE Icon Reference Guide * COREscript Construct Reference * COREscript Expression Language Reference * CORE API Reference Adobe's Acrobat Reader is needed to view this documentation. You can download the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader free of charge at http://www.adobe.com. Disaster Prevention/Recovery ============================ There is no recovery log in CORE Enterprise 5.0. All changes are immediately written to the server, so a crash on a client should not result in any loss of data, with the possible exception of the change in progress when the crash occurred. The administrator is responsible for regularly backing up the data on the server. Important Notes =============== Using RDT Files From Previous Versions of CORE ---------------------------------------------- CORE 5.0 fully supports importing RDT files from CORE 1.3.1 and later. CORE 5.0 can also export RDT files in 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x formats to enable interchange with previous versions of CORE. Working with Report Files From Previous Versions of CORE -------------------------------------------------------- CORE 5.0 can read and execute report scripts created in previous versions of CORE. However, report scripts written or modified in CORE 5.0 cannot be used in those versions. Uninstalling CORE 5.0 ===================== To remove CORE Enterprise 5.0 Client from your system, select Add/Remove Programs from the Windows control panel. Select CORE Enterprise 5.0 Client from the list of applications available to uninstall and click the Remove button. Follow the instructions provided by the installer to remove the application. Reporting Problems/Making Product Suggestions ============================================= If you should encounter a problem with the software (either an error, a deficiency, a feature that works in a manner other than you expected, or a problem with any associated documentation), please notify us via e-mail, phone, or fax as indicated below.
