Titan Server Installation

The Titan server is usually installed on just one computer and not on each SPACE GASS computer! It is usually installed on your network server computer.

 

If you just want to install SPACE GASS and connect it to a Titan server that has already been installed elsewhere on your network then you should skip this section and proceed straight to the "SPACE GASS Installation" section.

 

Before installing the Titan server, you must decide which computer you wish to put it on. It will need to be a computer that is running most of the time and accessible to the workstations on your network. It is usual to have just one Titan server, however if your company has offices in different locations then you may wish to have Titan servers in more than one location. For example, you might have 25 copies of SPACE GASS, with 10 copies in one office and 15 in another. You could have a Titan server managing the 10 licences in one office and another Titan server managing the 15 licences in the other office. If the two office networks were connected, you could even share licences between them. For example, office A could access SPACE GASS licences from office B and vice-versa.

 

Please note that if you are moving the Titan server from one computer to another, please don't just install it on the new computer without first cancelling it on the old computer! Refer to "Moving the Titan Server".

 

  1. Click here to download the latest Titan server program and save it to your desktop.
     

  2. When the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file to install it. Follow the installation prompts and accept the default settings for each step until the installation is complete.
     

  3. If the Titan system has not yet been registered, the following Titan Registration form will appear. Note that if the Titan Administration tool simply opens without first displaying the form below then it has already been registered and you can close it and then proceed with the SPACE GASS installation as described below. If the installer does not display this form, you can access it by clicking Start Button => All Programs => Titan Licence Manager => Administration Tool



     

  4. Request a SPACE GASS registration package by emailing the hardware signature from the above form to admin@spacegass.com.

    This is not an automated service and so please also include your business name and contact details in the email so that you can be identified!
     

  5. When you receive the SPACE GASS registration package by return email, save it to your desktop and then click the "Register" button in the above form to register your Titan server. If you have closed the Titan Registration form then just open it again as per step 3 above.
     

  6. Once registered, the Titan Administration tool will open as shown below, and automatically start the Titan licence manager. You should check that a green tick appears above the "Start Titan" button near the bottom-right corner of the tool. If it is a red cross then click the "Start Titan" button and, when the green tick appears, you can close the tool.



     

  7. You should now proceed with the "SPACE GASS Installation" procedure for each computer that you want to run SPACE GASS on.
