Note: Sage Software Customer Support recommends that you contact your Business Partner to install or upgrade FRx. It is a complex process that should be handled by a qualified and experienced FRx Business Partner.

Installation Overview
The FRx client program can be installed on individual workstations for each user (fat client), or installed to a network directory and then shared among multiple users (thin client).

A fat client installation is typically used for single-user licenses, or to minimize network dependency. The thin client installation is the most common configuration in a multi-user environment because it minimizes the amount of disk space that is used on the client workstations, and makes maintenance and upgrades easier. In most cases, a thin client installation is recommended.

Note: Do not run any FRx programs while installing FRx.
