Installing PhonePad 5 Workstation on My Server or Host PC

Host PCs

If you are installing PhonePad 5 Server on a workstation then you can continue to use that computer as you would any other workstation.  PhonePad 5 Server will run in the background as a Windows Service.  You will need to also install PhonePad 5 Workstation on this computer.

Even if you choose to make the Host PC a dedicated machine that isn't used as a standard workstation, it is recommended that you install PhonePad 5 Workstation.  There are a couple of reasons for this:

•The Application Update feature can only be run from a Server or Host PC.

•If PhonePad 5 isn't working on any workstations, you can run it on your Host PC to verify whether or not it's a problem with PhonePad 5 Server.

Servers

The reasons why it's a good idea to install PhonePad 5 Workstation on your server is the same as for a Host PC:

•The Application Update feature can only be run from a Server or Host PC.

•If PhonePad 5 isn't working on any workstations, you can run it on your Host PC to verify whether or not it's a problem with PhonePad 5 Server.
