When a Server Demo or Full Product is installed, it will create a GlobalSearch Client Installation folder. Use this folder to perform installations on client machines. This folder can be shared out from the server, then run over the network.

You can only perform the client installation once the server installation has been completed.

It is recommended that you share out the GlobalSearch Client Installation folder, then navigate to that folder using a UNC path. The following steps will show you the location of this folder and the steps of how to install it from the client. By default, the GlobalSearch Client Installation folder is located at the root of C:\.
