Software

During deployment, priority will be given to assist libraries with the reinstallation of financial and accounting software such as QuickBooks and Peachtree. The reinstallation of this software will be a manual process and will be coordinated with the site coordinator. The eiNetwork will try to ensure that the software reinstallation occurs on the first business day after your library's deployment.

In addition to financial and accounting software, we have also identified other priority software and have created an automated process for reinstalling this software. Libraries can request to have the following software packages reinstalled on their library's computers after business hours on the evening of their deployment day:

• Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
• Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
• Adobe Dreamweaver CS5
• Adobe Photoshop CS3
• Adobe Photoshop CS5
• Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

In order for the eiNetwork to assist with the reinstallation of all priority software that has been identified above (financial, accounting and Adobe products), libraries must:

• Verify that their software versions are compatible with Windows 7. It is each library's responsibility to purchase any software upgrades that are required for Windows 7. Additional information is available on the PC Portal by visiting http://www.einetwork.net/pc/index.html and clicking on the "Compatible Software" tab.
• Be able to provide the installation media and license key for this software. For financial and accounting software, the media will be necessary to complete the installation.
• Provide the exact name and version of software that will be reinstalled on each computer.

We recommend that libraries open a BigWebApps ticket during their lockdown period to request the installation of the priority software listed above. We will be creating a new BigWebApps ticket class for PC Deployment to be used for these requests. Please remember that you can open a ticket online by going to http://helpdesk.einetwork.net.

For any other software that libraries want to have reinstalled, the library should also open a BigWebApps ticket using the PC Deployment class, and priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Please remember that libraries may also install their own software using Deep Freeze, by following the procedure outlined in the Staff - How To Install Software document, which can be downloaded from the Deep Freeze section of the PC Portal: http://www.einetwork.net/pc/DeepFreeze.html.

Library staff should use the instructions created by the eiNetwork to reinstall the OCLC Connexion client on their computers. Click here to download the installation instructions.
