You can find your full, multi-digit version number inside the software. Just click Help > About.

Installation Steps:
Select the type of installation below that best describes your particular need.
--IMPORTANT!-- You will be downloading the entire suite. You will [not] download a particular individual software title. It is only during the installation process that you select the title or titles to be installed.
The First Client Workstation:
At the server, go to C:\ProgramData\Gradience. When you get there, copy the Hrware.ini file and then paste it into a neutral location. Then open the file in that neutral location and change just [one] thing.
You will see [HRWARE] at the top. Now, the second line is the path to the database. Leave this alone. Don't concern yourself with the drive letter that is indicated. Look down to the 4th line where you will see SERVER=Localhost. Change the word Localhost to the name or the IP address of the server or the computer where the database resides. Save the change.
Next, go to the NEW client workstation and navigate to C:\ProgramData and create a Gradience folder and then paste the altered ini file into that folder. [Then] click the link below for the version you need to instsall. You will [not] need to restart the computer when finished.
