2.5 Installing the Client

There is nothing on the AcuServer distribution media to install on the client machine. However, you should ensure that every client system that will use AcuServer has a licensed copy of an ACUCOBOL-GT runtime, and that AcuServer and the runtime share the same version. To check a runtime's version, use the "-v" option on the client runtime command line. The runtime displays information similar to the following:

ACUCOBOL-GT runtime version 7.2 
Serial number 1234 
Licensed for 2 processes  
AcuServer client 
Vision version 5 file system 
Copyright (c) 1988 - 2006, Acucorp, Inc. 

Look for the line "AcuServer client" and a runtime version number that matches the version of AcuServer that you are running. If these two criteria are not met, the client machine can not access data using AcuServer.
