Paul, Try the client setup on the PC. It's the same thing.......... Let's say you have a PC call "corp_pcb_serv" Create a directory c:\psd_tools Install 15.x in C:\psd_tools with the following command line (!!!) <path to cdrom1>\setup.exe admin After the install is done, create a share psd_tools from c:\psd_tools. This share is accessable to everyone. Now go to another PC and map the share psd_tools you created on "corp_pcb_serv". Let's say this results in F:\. Now open the "drive" F:\ and cd into Cadence\SPB_15.2 (or Cadence\PSD_15.1). You will find a directory called CLIENT_SETUP. run the setup.exe and in less than 2 min. 15.x is installed on the client. It's that easy and if you are familiar with the CDS_SITE env variable you really can setup a very nice low maintenance PCB design environment. Upgrades? Just do it on the server and everybody is all set. I am not sure, but can you get a Solaris workstation similar to a 2.xGHz P4 2GB RAM 800MHz FSB for less than $2500 ??????? Andy PS: I still believe in LINUX though..... ;-)
