Thank you for your order of REAL/Easy Version 14.5.  Please use the following steps to install this upgrade and setup users if you have a network.  Call 1-800-732-5327 if you need help or have questions.

1. [___] Move to the computer where REAL/Easy BOS and FOS are installed. This can be a standalone PC or a file server for a network.

2. [___] Note where BOS/FOS is installed by viewing the properties of the BOS or FOS icon on the desktop. You can check this by right clicking on the icon to obtain a menu and selecting properties. When the “Properties” window appears, click the “Shortcut” tab and note the “Start in:” location (e.g. (C:\Bos” )
3. [___] Make sure there are no users in BOS or FOS at any time during the following setup steps.
4. [___] Back Up your Server’s  \BOS folder including all sub directories (this will backup the existing software and your data).

5. [___] Install the upgrade from the 14.5 CD by opening the Setup.exe.  Install to the PC or server to the exact same location as your older version of BOS  (examples: C:\BOS  or D:\apps\BOS or N:\Accounting\Apps\BOS). 

6. This will start the setup wizard – continue using the “Next” buttons.

7. [___] Setup continued … Again, install the upgrade in the same drive-folder path as the current system.

8. [___] During this install you will be asked to “Rebuild” your database – you must do this (do not skip the rebuild). When the setup is complete, click Finish and close all install windows and remove the REAL/Easy CD.
9. [___] Shut Down your PC/Server and then ReStart – this will insure that all new software, database, and report drivers are configured.
10. [___] On PC/Server, start the BOS system and login as the Administrator (Admin).  

11. [___] On PC/Server, run the above Tools commands (see above):
    1. Update Listing Contacts  T22,
    2. Update Transaction Contacts  T30,
    3. and Reset Transaction Offices  T31.  
12. [___] Exit BOS, do data only backup, system is ready if you are using a standalone computer and have one database. If you are using a network and/or have another company database please continue with the following.

Multiple Databases

Note: If you are running the BOS/FOS database in a folder other than ..\BOS\DATA.. or have multiple company databases, you will have to do the following additional steps:

1. On the Server, go to Start ->Programs->Realeasy-> Switch Company – to re-point to the live database path.
2. On the Server, go to Start ->Programs->Realeasy-> Database Rebuild – note that the rebuild is pointing to the correct path.
3. Do steps 10 through 12 above for each additional company database.

Network System

1. For a network having users with LAN access, you must go to each station and run the new “LanUser.exe” setup program to enable the station to access REAL/Easy version 14.5.
