QQube Multi-User for Remote Desktop (Update) | CLEARIFY

Multi-user Remote Desktop Update

This How-To Guide covers QQube Versions 7.x and 10.x

IMPORTANT: This guide is for users hosting QQube in a remote desktop or terminal services environment. If you are hosting QQube in a local server and client environment then use this guide instead.

There are two steps to this operation:

1. Installing the multi-user server portion, which upgrades the QQube database.
2. Ensuring that clients who login, re-run the Excel Add-In .vsto to update the Excel Add-In.

STEP [1] - Multi-User Server Update for Remote Desktop

Make sure that you are logged into the dedicated server user, where the synch occurs - and where the original install occurred; and that the user has temporary full administrative rights.

Do NOT install this portion from the administrative console, and DO NOT using the "change user / install" method of installation.

Open Up the QQube Configuration Tool and navigate to "About QQube".

IMPORTANT LAST ACTION:  Perform a manual refresh to make your data available for use

STEP [2] - Multi-User Client Update for Remote Desktop

Since you already created a shortcut for the QQube Configuration Tool when you installed the first time, you won't need to re-perform that step, as the any QQubeConfigurationTool.exe would be replaced.

What you should do, however, is make sure that each client updates the Excel Add-In.  You may - or may not - have created that shortcut upon the initial install. 

All they have to do, is make sure Excel is closed, and that they run this file:   C:\Program Files (x86)\CLEARIFY\QQube Tool\QQube Add-In For Excel\QQube Add-In For Excel.vsto
