IMPORTANT: There will be one page in the installation that asks whether you wish to install Dr. Dispatch as a server or as a client.
Make sure you select "Server" ONLY on the server (main) computer and "Client" on all other computers. The server option should ONLY be selected one time and that will be for the main (server) computer.
Note: The server is your main computer in your office. This computer must be on whenever you wish to run Dr. Dispatch on any computer.
Note: If you purchased a one-user license for Dr. Dispatch, select the server option. If you have a multi-user license, where you have two or more people in your office who will use Dr. Dispatch, then the server option is for the main computer (server) only.
4) Follow the above steps to install Dr Dispatch on all machines. All other machines should be set up using the "Client" option.
