Virtual CD FS Versions 6, 7, 9 and 10 can be integrated in your Virtual CD NMS v10 system. The advantages of using the two programs together include:
| • | Expanded licensing functions for all virtual CDs |
| • | Administration of server licenses (v9 and v10) |
| • | Centralized management |
Notes on Installation of Virtual CD FS
Virtual CD FS versions 9 and later can retrieve license codes from NMS. This feature is configured during installation. If you are using an earlier version of Virtual CD FS, you need to enter a license code manually. The Virtual CD FS service that makes virtual CD drives available requires this license code.
|
The setup program will not continue until a Virtual CD FS license code has been entered. Virtual CD FS v10 does not have a demo mode. A separate test version of the program is available for demonstration purposes. It is not possible to activate the full range of functions by entering a license code in a test version. |
|
For details on the installation and configuration of Virtual CD FS, please refer to the Virtual CD FS documentation. |
If you use Virtual CD FS Server in conjunction with Virtual CD NMS Administration, the Virtual CD FS server is automatically allocated to the default group, Virtual CD FS Servers.
You can assign the server to a different group, if desired.
Functions that can be used for the Virtual CD FS Server:
For the most part, you can use the same functions for Virtual FS servers as those that are available for your Virtual CD client stations.
The following functions are not available for Virtual CD FS:
| • | Distribution of scripts |
| • | Allocation of profiles |
|
When using Virtual CD FS in conjunction with Virtual CD NMS, we recommend locking the drives on the file server. This prevents users who connect over Virtual CD NMS from inadvertently ejecting the CDs that are in file server drives. |
