On the machine designated to be your server,

3. Click Full to install the components required to run a workgroup system and click Next.

6. Click Next to proceed to the next step. You can click Back or Cancel at any time to change a previous choice or to stop the installation.

8. Accept the default program folder. Click Next.
9. Review the settings and click Next to complete the installation. 21st Century Accounting Installation runs to completion.
10. The database setup begins automatically. This part of the Installation installs the Pervasive database files.
11. After the files are installed you must enter the Pervasive License Key which is included with your software package. If the installation process does not automatically open the Pervasive License Administrator, you should open it from the Start/All Programs/Pervasive/Utilities/License Administrator menu. Enter the license key and click Apply, Authorize or Activate (depending on your Pervasive version).

On each workstation (the "clients") on a C21 Workgroup:

2. Click Client to install the components required to run on a workstation or client and click the Next button.

5. The database setup will start automatically. This part of the Installation installs the Pervasive database engine (unless it has already been installed). If the installation does find Pervasive is already installed, click Yes to install over the existing Pervasive files.
