First Run

Once you have completed installation and activation of CIMCO PDM and CIMCO NC-Base Database Server, you need to start both the NC-Base Database Server and CIMCO PDM Server. It is important you do this in the right order as described below:

In Windows 7 and Vista you need to right-click and select "Run as administrator".

• Navigate to folder CIMCO, then to folder NCBase6. Run NCBaseServer.exe and click the "Start" button to start the server.
• Navigate to folder CIMCO, then to folder PDM6. Run PDMSetup.exe and click "Start Server".
• In folder PDM6 run CIMCO-PDM.exe, or use the desktop icon CIMCO-PDM V6.

The first time you run the above you will be prompted for an activation keyfile. If you do not have a keyfile please contact your local reseller or CIMCO A/S directly.

When you run CIMCO PDM you will be presented with the following screen. The upper part contains the "Database" toolbar and menus and the lower part contains a blank area reserved for the PDM "Explorer".
