Installing the OPAS Demo - how to install the demonstration copy of OPAS on a network
Installation instructions - Install OPAS on a Server and Workstations (individual computers). Note that these instructions assume that you will employ a configuration in which the OPAS executable (the OPAS program itself) is installed on each workstation and only the OPAS Database, User settings and other shared resources are on the server. This is a typical OPAS workstation installation configuration. Also note that these instructions are for OPAS itself; you will likely also install a database, reports and other files that have been assembled for your organization. Contact OPAS Technical Support for more information.
Workstation Installation - Install OPAS on a computer in your office when the OPAS executable (the OPAS program itself) is installed on each workstation and only the OPAS Database, User settings and other shared resources are on the server. This is a typical OPAS workstation installation configuration.
