Abila MIP Server Install
When installing the Abila MIP Server, a directory is created by default—<Server Name>:\MIP SHARE.
The Abila MIP Server must be installed before proceeding to the
"Abila MIP Workstation Install" (page 23)
.
Note:
To install in a virtual environment, you must use a virtual service client, such as VMWare's
Infrastructure Client Console, instead of a Remote Desktop Connection.
Please carefully read each panel of the wizard during installation.
1. Be sure you are logged in as a user who has local administrator rights to perform the install. Also, verify that you are a user with Administrator rights on the SQL Server or have access to the SQL Server
System Admin (SA) password. (If you are not an Administrator on the SQL Server nor have the SA password, you will not be able to install the software.)

Activation
Codes
The activation code is determined by the system’s license. The system uses the activation code to determine which modules you own, how many additional databases you have purchased, and how many concurrent users you will have available. Later, if you decide to add a module or increase your users or databases, you need to enter a new activation code. To enter a new license, use the
Administration>System>Activate License form. To add a module to an existing database, use the Organization>Add A Module form.
7. Click Next. Accept the default MIP Share destination folder (recommended), or use the Change button to navigate to a different location.
