All thin client programs are installed during the normal installation of the Loftware Print Server as described in Chapter 1 of the LLM User’s Guide. No hardware key is required on client PCs. Each client utilizes a ‘client count’ license that is tracked by the server license.
Starting Client Applications via ‘Thin Install’
Note: The client install program can be found on the CD-ROM or in the directory that contains the LPS in a subfolder called ‘LPS Client Install’. The installation for the .NET control can be found in the ‘’Loftware .NET Installs’ folder. Both folders can be found in ‘Program Files\Loftware Labeling’.
1. Navigate to the network drive and directory where LPS resides using Explorer.
2. Double click ‘setup.exe’ in the ‘LPS Client Install’ directory (under the Loftware folder).
3. Choose the Client Applications to install when prompted to do so.
4. Access the clients using the start button Start | Programs | Loftware Labeling | Print Server | clientname when the thin install has completed.
Note: The .NET control has its own installation program in the ‘Program Files\Loftware Labeling\Loftware .NET Installs folder. The reason for this is because if the .NET framework is not already on your system, it must be installed; this would unnecessarily increase the size of the normal client install.
Note: The Loftware Reader Control has its own installation program.
