Two DS Servers on Same system

Post by gateleys »

Is it possible to install/run two different DS Servers with different versions, say 7.0 and 7.5 on the same machine? How about clients? Is migration from existing DS7.0 jobs to DS7.5 handled automatically by the latter?

You can, but you have to change the daemon to look at a different address.
The clien would probably(may not) require the client switcher application from the install disk.

Yes it is possible. The question has been asked and answered already in several threads. Look in your client's DOCS directory for the pdf file entitled multiserv.pdf for instructions on how to do this.

You can install as many different instances as you want and if they are at the same version you don't need to use the multi client manager. But each instance needs to have it's own port number to use for the client to connect to.
