LedgerPlus - Client/Server Setup
Creating The Shortcuts
To use LedgerPlus in a client/server configuration over a TCP/IP network first install it individually onto each of the client workstations
and also the server workstation where you plan to locate the database.
On each client workstation create a shortcut to the LedgerPlus program C:\Program Files\Responsive Software\LedgerPlus\LedgerPlus.exe
and rename it LedgerPlus Client. Right-click on this shortcut and select Properties. Then click on the Shortcut tab.
In the Target field after the "C:\Program Files\Responsive Software\LedgerPlus\LedgerPlus.exe" filename (and outside
the quotation marks) add the command line parameter /c. (Or for a point-of-sale (POS) client use /p.) Then click on the OK button.
On the server workstation create a shortcut to the LedgerPlus program C:\Program Files\Responsive Software\LedgerPlus\LedgerPlus.exe
and rename it LedgerPlus Server. Right-click on this shortcut and select Properties. Then click on the Shortcut tab.
In the Target field after the "C:\Program Files\Responsive Software\LedgerPlus\LedgerPlus.exe" filename (and outside
the quotation marks) add the command line parameter /s. Then click on the OK button.
Double-click on the  icon to start the LedgerPlus Server program.
