Installation Instructions
Your Ease-E-Club Software Demo may be installed by clicking on the "30 Day Demo File" link on the Demo Download page or from a Demo CD. You will need 70 MB of free space for the installation file and the installed system. After the system is installed, the "setup" file can be deleted.
Minimum hardware requirements: 64MB RAM Memory, 70MB disk space, Win98 2nd Edition, Win2000, WinNT or WinXP(Home) or WinXp(Pro), 17inch Monitor, Sound Card & Speakers, Available USB port for scanner or numeric keypad, Network Card if more than one computer will be used and a printer.

Dual Monitor Setup:
If you have a Dual Monitor system where one monitor acts as a Sign In screen and faces your members when they record their visit, you should use a Serial Scanner. The Serial Scanner allows your members to Sign In while another task is being performed on the main monitor.
Dual Monitors require that the Dual Monitor video card be configured to act as an extended desktop and the second monitor displays the Sign In screen. Because of the number of different Dual Monitor video cards on the market we can only give limited advise on how to configure these and you may need technical assistance from the hardware manufacturer to get it working properly.
Dual Monitor configurations require just a single user license.
Two User or Net Versions:
Many sites like to dedicate one computer to the "Sign-In" process and have another computer to store all the files and perform other Fitness tasks or any other computer process. We recommend 2 computers linked in a Local Area Network in a Peer-to-Peer configuration.
NOTE: You MUST have, at least, a 2 user license to operate in a network environment. Some technical assistance from your hardware supplier may be required for this procedure.
Install the Fitness Software on the main system only and see that it is working properly. The Sign-In computer must be linked to the main system with a "Cross Over" Network cable, if linking them directly (Use a regular patch cable if connecting through a router). A Peer-To-Peer network connection will work for this purpose, or any standard network environment such as NT or Novell. On the Main computer, where the Fitness application is installed, "Share" the Drive "C" to other network users, by going through "My Computer" and highlight Drive "C:", then right click, under "Sharing and Security", "Sharing"; share the Drive "C:" for both READ ("Share this folder on the network" should be checked) and WRITE ("Allow network users to change my files" should be checked) access. On the Sign-In computer, Map the main computer as a new Drive letter (eg. "M"), using Network Neighborhood or My Network Places. Now create a Fitness Icon on the Sign-In computer Desktop, like the one on the main computer except the Drive letter changes to whatever you previously mapped. (eg. "M:\Health\Pvxwin32.exe healthpfx"; Start In "M:\Health"). Now test the Icon and it should work the same as on the main computer. Performance may be enhanced by installing the main data base on the Sign-In computer instead of the administrative computer.
If you do not want to share the entire drive C of the main computer you can share just the "C:\Health" folder. You must change the mapping on the second computer and on the Icon by deleting the "Health\" word in the target line and Start In field.
