Server Setup Top

When the Omnify Server Installation is launched, you will be asked to provide a virtual directory where all Omnify Server Applications and Services will be installed.



Once the Server installation is complete, you can visit the Omnify Server Home Page using any web browser with the URL: http://[Server Name]/[Omnify Virtual Directory] (e.g. http://omnifyserver/Omnify5).



All web browser applications and modules can be launched from the Omnify Server Home Page.
Client Utilities Top
The Omnify Client Utilities consist of OmniBOM and CADKit. The Client Utility installation can be accessed from the Omnify Server Home Page.



From the Client Utilities web page, you can download and run the Omnify Client Utilities installer.
