Testing networking with a demo

Print this Topic

To test network metering on your network using the Prism demo:

1.Install the Prism demo onto a network server. Note that we use the term "server" to mean any hard drive that is shared on the network. It doesn't have to be an actual server. Prism doesn't ever run on this server. Rather it loads from the server's hard drive onto the work station and runs on each individual work station computer.
2. If using the Mac version of Prism, set the permission of the Prism application file to read-only (rather than read-write, which is the default).
3. Create a short cut on each computer's desktop (or start menu) to launch Prism from the server.
4. Double-click on an icon from one workstation to launch Prism.
5. Double-click from a second computer to launch Prism again.
6. Double-click from a third computer. Since the demo version is set up to emulate a two-user network, you will see an error message when you try to launch Prism the third time. This will let you test that the metering system works on your network. When you buy a Prism network, you can buy licenses for as many simultaneous users as you want.
