This guide provides information about installing, configuring and managing MainBoss Advanced. The first chapter gives a quick guide that should be sufficient for many users. Later chapters give more details for those with advanced needs.

This guide is aimed at providing a reasonable path to getting MainBoss up and running. The procedures and settings we describe are not the only possibilities; some sites may have good reason to take different approaches (e.g. in setting up permissions over your local area network). However, if you don't follow our suggestions and you contact MainBoss Technical Support for help, we will probably recommend that you change your configuration to match what is described in this guide.

Important Note: You will obtain MainBoss software either from our web site (mainboss.com) or from a distribution disk. The web page or the disk will provide primary instructions for installing the software. This manual provides additional information that may be useful during the installation process, beginning with Installation Locations for MainBoss Software. If there is any disagreement between the download web page and this manual, follow the instructions on the download web page.
