Installation

Under the hood, CIMCO PDM utilizes the powerful CIMCO NC-Base Database Server and CIMCO PDM Server as an intermediate layer for handling the communication between CIMCO PDM and the NC-Base Database Server.

In order to get CIMCO PDM up and running you need to install both CIMCO PDM and CIMCO Database Server. Both are included in the installation file available for download at www.cimco.com, but require a valid activation keyfile to run. CIMCO Database Server is also installed as part of CIMCO Software Version 6.

To install CIMCO PDM, follow the instructions below:

• Download installation file
  Go to the dowload page of the CIMCO Software and download the latest version of CIMCO PDM. Save the file in a temporary directory.

• Run installation program
  Start the installation program by clicking on CIMCO PDM v6 setup program .
  When prompted for the components that should be installed, select Full installation to install both CIMCO PDM and CIMCO Database Server. Select Client installation to install the CIMCO PDM client in a networked PC connected to the database server, or if CIMCO NC-Base Database Server has already been installed as part of the CIMCO Software package.

• Copying your keyfile
  If you have received a keyfile, it should be copied to the program directory after the installation is completed. If you perform a Full installation, the keyfile should be also copied to the NC-Base Server directory.
