Install Biblioscape on a network drive

If there are several users in your organization and you don't want to install Biblioscape on each user's machine, you can simply install Biblioscape on a network drive and let everyone run Biblioscape from there. First, download the trial copy (a self-extracting zip file) from the Web at http://www.biblioscape.com/download.htm. Double click it to run and unzip it to a new folder on your network drive. That is all you need to do for installation. If you have already installed Biblioscape on a local machine, you can simply move the Biblioscape folder from your local machine to the network drive because running the installer is not needed for Biblioscape installation. Users can go to the network drive and double click biblioscape.exe to run it. A network drive may be mapped to a drive letter in the user's machine. The end user can drag and drop biblioscape.exe to his or her desktop using the right mouse button and select "Create shortcut here". In the future, users can just double click the desktop shortcut icon to run Biblioscape.

Once installed, if you want another user to run Biblioscape from another machine in your network, please set the Biblioscape folder to be shared. You can also make your Biblioscape folder on your machine a shared folder. Select the Biblioscape installation folder, click the right mouse button and select Properties. Go to the "Sharing" tab and check the boxes "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to change my files". Other people on your LAN can browse to your shared folder and run Biblioscape from there.

If you want to install Biblioscape on a network drive and let several users run Biblioscape, please be aware that Biblioscape is licensed to an individual user, not a single machine. Each user needs to purchase Biblioscape and register it.
