Stage 3: Installing the software
You can install the software on the workstations in two main ways:
• by having the users themselves install (or “pull”) the software from the
server image to their workstations
• by using a command line to install (or “push”) the software from the
server image to the workstations on the users’ behalf

Pulling the software
Workstation users themselves can install (or “pull”) the software by using
one of the following methods:
• browsing to the location of the server image, double-clicking Setup.exe,
and following the instructions in the setup. This is the most common
method for pulling the software.
• running a command line that installs the software from the setup on the
server image. Typically, this method is reserved for push-installation
scenarios (see page 6).
Managing permissions with Group Policy Objects
To install the software, workstation users require administrator-level
privileges. To assign such privileges, Windows-based networks use Group
Policy Objects (or “GPOs”): items stored in a central network location and
used to automatically update the registry settings on each workstation
when its user logs in to the network.
If you want to give users administrator-level access rights (either
temporarily or permanently), you may need to configure the GPOs for your
network by using a Group Policy Editor.
For general help with GPOs, please refer to the Software Development Kit
(SDK) for Group Policy. For help specific to using GPOs with Corel
software, contact Corel Support Services (www.corel.com/support).
Please note that charges will apply.
To access the Group Policy Editor for Windows
On the Windows® taskbar, do one of the following:
• Windows 7 or Windows Vista — Click the Start button, click All
programs ` Accessories ` Run, and then run the file gpedit.msc.
• Windows XP — Click Start ` Run, and then run the file gpedit.msc.

oftware to the workstations” on
age 6.
Pulling the software involves
having the workstation users
hemselves execute the software
installation and perhaps even choose
heir own installation options.
Group Policy Objects
(sometimes called “system
olicies”) reside in a central
location on a Windows-based
network and define how each
orkstation is configured.
