Please install ibaHD-Server software on the computer on which the HD files are to be stored. Make sure that the computer has sufficient disk space. Of course, data can also be stored on a network drive, which can be accessed via the computer.

If you have a ZIP file of the new software version (e.g., after a download), unzip it into a (temporary) folder of your choice.

You find the file in the …\01_iba_Software\ibaHD-Server directory of the "iba Software & Manuals" data medium.

1. Close the ibaPDA client and other Windows programs.

2. Click on the ibaHdSetup_vx.y.z.exe file and follow the instructions in the installation manager.

   Note
   	At the start of the installation process, you can open the version history with the View version history link. Read through the information about the changes and system requirements. Ensure that the new software version meets your project requirements, as it may not be possible to downgrade later.

3. Accept the license agreement.

4. Check your license information, if necessary.

5. Select the installation directory.

6. Select the user account (optional).

   • Local system account (default) This account is sufficient if the server process works only on the local computer and does not need any other special user-related rights.

   • Custom user Select this option if the server process requires other special user-specific rights. The user account entered here must have these rights (Windows User Management).

7. Start the installation process with <Install>.

8. Select whether you want to start the ibaHD Manager and finish the installation with <Finish>.

Note
	During the installation, it is also checked whether the installation is effected within the update period specified in the dongle. If this is not the case, a message appears in which informs you about the option to purchase an extended update period (EUP) or maintenance contract.

Firewall settings

All necessary exceptions in the firewall settings are automatically carried out by the installation program. Further settings are not necessary.
