The Network Client/Server configuration of LASER uses a server to support one or more individual workstations, allowing access to the same database via multiple computers and users.

• Servers hold the central database requiring the server installation to be placed in a network location, separate from the LASER client application.
• Network clients are placed on the users’ individual workstations which then access the database on the server. 

The LASER network client should be installed after the server installation has been successfully completed.
  
For current LASER users it is strongly recommended to begin by backing up the current database. For questions related to data backup consult the LASER User Guide or contact the QIES Help Desk. 
ALL network client applications should be closed when upgrading or installing a new server. Once an upgrade installation has begun users should not cancel or close any of the windows displayed.  
ALL LASER client installations should be upgraded to the latest version prior to logging into the application.
Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in loss of data.
 

Users who wish to install or upgrade a Network/Client configuration of LASER should: 

1. Begin by reviewing the LASER 1.3.0 Installation Guide.  
2. Use the LASERServerSetup-1.3.0.exe.
3. Use the LASERSetup-1.3.1.exe to install the LASER Network Client to each workstation.
