100. How to create multiple instances of EzeScan and EzeScan Server on version 4.2
IMPORTANT:
- This FAQ only applies to EzeScan version 4.2 only. To setup multiple instances on version 4.3 please refer to the EzeScan SERVER User Guide section 7.1.
- To run multiple instances of EzeScan.exe or EzeScan_Routing.exe your workstation must be licensed for more than 1 Exe Instances.
- The number of EzeScan.exe and EzeScan_Routing.exe instances that can be run on the workstation is limited to the number of Exe Instances on your license.
- Additional licensed instances of EzeScan.exe and EzeScan_Routing.exe can be purchased from our Sales department.
-----------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Open My Computer and browse to the following directory
"C:\Program Files\Outback Imaging\EzeScan 4.2" - In the same folder make a duplicate of the EzeScan.exe and EzeScan_Routing.exe, and then rename them to EzeScan2.exe and EzeScan_Routing2.exe respectively.
- Now run the EzeScan2.exe - EzeScan will automatically create a new Cache folder and Configuration file for the new instance of EzeScan.
- Repeat steps 2 to 3 for EzeScan.exe and EzeScan_Routing.exe intances 3 and 4 (if required).
- To install the new EzeScan_Routing.exe instances as a service use the following text in Command Prompt
"c:\program files\outback imaging\ezescan\ezescan_routing2.exe -install"
Note: You will need replace the number 2 from the above text with the instance number you are wanting to install. - Each licensed instance must use its own Routes with unique import folders to prevent errors that may occur if multiple instances are accessing the same folders.
