TIP: This article is for workstations only. Please don't follow this guide on the server machine.

If you have already run the download on a workstation

If you have run the installation download on a workstation, this will have performed a standalone installation and will not be linked to the data held on your server PC.

To correct this, please follow the instructions on before continuing.

If you know the name of your server

• On the workstation you wish to install on, select Start, then click Run (or search) \\SERVER\SuiteWorkstationInstaller\
• Run ClientSetup.exe

If you do not know the name of your server

1. On a workstation that already has Sage Taxation installed launch Sage Control Centre from the compliance menu and sign in as usual
2. Select either:
   • Help, then click the E-mail installation link and send the e-mail to somebody on the new workstation
   or
   • Help, click About, then click System information and Hover over "Installer directory"
   • Make a note of the information in the tooltip (e.g. \\SERVER\SuiteWorkstationinstaller)
   • On the new PC, browse to this location and run clientsetup.exe

If you are getting "Failed to connect to SQL" errors on your new workstation, please ensure that the firewall on your server is correctly configured. This includes the Windows firewall and any third party firewall you may have installed. For further information, please see

Running clientsetup.exe will also install the prerequisites required on a Sage Taxation workstation:

• Microsoft .NET4 framework
• Sage PracticeSuite PDF printer
• Sage Tax Prerequisites
• Sage event logger (event viewer)
