Background:
The system stores this information along with a unique number in both the RTI database and on your computer. Every time RTIconnect is started, it sends its unique number to RTI’s update system. The update system uses this number to determine what updates or customizations your computer needs, if any. This happens very quickly and most of the time you won’t even know it’s happening. (NOTE: The first login typically requires additional files to download to your system, depending upon your database version. This occurs automatically and may take a few minutes to complete depending upon your Internet connection speed. Subsequent logins should complete more quickly.) Each computer has its own updates and customizations.
If you ever have to re-install RTIconnect on your computer, contact RTI Client Services for assistance for using the Re-Install Existing Installation option. -
In the Installation ID field, enter a word or phrase that describes this computer, for example, Store 11 or Office PC.
- Click OK.
This completes your installation and setup of RTIconnect.
