How to Install your Masters from a CD
Upon completion of your Masters conversion by ASI Computer Systems, Inc. you will receive a CD containing the masters information for your company. To install your masters from the CD, follow these procedures:
On the front of the masters CD is the version that the masters were created with.
You MUST have this version of the ProfitMaker software installed prior to copying on the masters. If you need help to make sure you have the correct version installed, please contact the ASI Computer Systems system department at (319) 266-7601.
Note: This CD contains an executable file to install your masters files into your ProfitMaker system.
Go to a workstation to start the installation (not the server).
Procedure
1. Insert the CD into the drive on your workstation, the installation will start automatically.
If the CD does not start automatically, go to the "My Computer" icon on your desktop and click the CD drive to find the asimastersinstall.exe file (or click Start, Run and browse to the drive to find theasimastersinstall.exe file) to start the installation. Double click this file.
2. At the first window, Welcome to Master Files installation, click the Next button to continue with the installation.
3. On the Requirements Window, click the checkbox to indicate you have read the documentation included with the software. If you are going to install your masters into all of your ASI data folders (typically ASIDTA and ASIPLAYS), leave the installation type at Typical Update. Click the Next button.
If you are going to install your masters into only one ASI data folder, change the installation type to Custom Update. Click the Next button to select the default ASICLIENT location (this should not be changed).
Click the Next button to select the default program destination location (usually c:\program files\asics\asipm, this should not be changed).
Now select the ASI data folder location where you want your new masters files installed.
Note: You can choose as many locations as you need by using the Browse button.
When you are finished selecting the data folder(s) you should have a blank or empty location. Click the Next button and it will show a list of the selected data folders in the data directories location window.
When the data folders, where you want your masters loaded, are listed click the Next button to start the copying and installation of the masters files.
4. The next window will give a message that your masters files have been successfully installed. Click the Finish button to exit the installation program.
Your masters have now been loaded and you are ready to start working in the ProfitMaker system. Once the system is up and running you will need to index all files in all of the data folders where you had the masters installed. (System, Utility)
