If you are running this install on the physical server and can
install an Analyst station on the server, click Finish and follow
the onscreen instructions. More details about Analyst workstation
install are available below (see Analyst Workstation #1 Install).
If, however, your company policy prevents you from installing an
Analyst station on the server, deselect this option and click
Finish. Install an Analyst station on Analyst machine #1, as per
the instructions below, before proceeding to the licensing portion.
Our software allows you to install one Analyst station before
licensing. Other requirements:
Share out the Compsens folder on the server granting full
read/write/delete permissions to this folder and all the
subfolders.
Map a network drive on each Analyst and Panelist machine. The
drive needs to be mapped to the Compsens folder on the server from
each station using the same path and same drive letter.
Analyst Workstation #1 Install Compusense five software requires
an Analyst workstation to be installed before licensing can take
place. If your company policy does not allow you to install an
Analyst station on the server, please follow the steps below to
install the software on a remote Analyst machine.
1. From the Analyst computer you will need to run the
workstation_setup.exe file, which is located on the server.
The path to this file is usually something like this:
drive_letter (to the Compsens folder):\C5R56. 2. From your Analyst
station, browse to the workstation_setup.exe file and run it to
start up the
installation Wizard. 3. On the third screen, select Analyst
Workstation option. 4. Follow the rest of the onscreen
instructions. 5. When prompted to provide the User ID code, please
type in DEM. 6. When prompted to enter a station number, type in
1.
