Installation Instructions
Before installing ShopData, make sure that all the Windows updates are done and it has .NET Framework 4.8 or higher.
The User login name can not be the same as the computer name. Microsoft SQL will not run properly. Also the User login needs to have LOCAL admin rights. It does not need Domain admin rights.
If you have any previous versions of ShopData installed on any pc, do not uninstall it. We may need files from it to carryover into the latest version. If we need to get files from your older ShopData version from another computer, we will need to get remote access to it using our Teamviewer Support.
If downloading CNC files to your table’s controller through a serial cable, make sure there is a serial port on the new computer. If there is not a 9-pin serial port, then you will need a USB to Serial cable adapter. If downloading through the network, make sure the location is mapped. Also make sure you have a printer installed if you plan to print Nest Summaries.
Once everything above is done, then it will be ready to install and setup the latest version of ShopData on the new computer.
