Running AB on a Small network

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a small network in my house
and I have 2 PC's one for everyday use (A) and one I use for storage (B). I
have been able to install AB from B's CD rom to A. But, when I try to run it
on A in runs it in demo mode. Is there any ways to run it from A while the
CD is in B.

Thanks

Ray

You could try to map a drive (say E:) to the CDROM on B, but it probably won't work. As far as I know, the CD has to be in a local drive.

I *THINK* you can make it work. Here's how....

1. Map the remote CD drive as a network drive on computer A.
2. Make sure this is a PERMANENT connection with a FIXED drive letter.
3. Install AB directly from the CD via the mapped drive letter. Yes, this
will install an older version of AB onto your computer, but it will also
cause AB to look for the CD on the mapped drive letter thereafter. Do this
by running the file "abldr22b.exe" (or whatever it is on the CD).
4. Launch AB to see if it works from the remote CD. I think it should.
5. Install V2.2c of AB over the current installation. This should leave the
CD drive location untouched.
6. Launch AB to verify that it still works from the remote CD. If it worked
in step 4, it should definitely work now.

Hope this helps,
Rob

I'm trying to do the same with my laptop (which doesn't have a cd
player) and my server CD (which I shared out). I mapped the cd to
drive d on the laptop, but the program simply opens in
evaluation/demo mode only.

Suggestions?
