You will require the following information to successfully complete the installation of Filopto on your Server:
1) Your Filopto Server must have a STATIC TCP/IP address to work properly. You will be asked for the Static IP address of your Filopto server during the install process. Open a Command Prompt or a Windows PowerShell session on your server and type "Ipconfig", press enter and the IPv 4 Address will be displayed. The IP address will look something like: 192.168.1.10 for example.
2) The Name of each PC that is going to use Filopto. You can locate the names of a Windows 11 PC by selecting the Start button (1) and then the Settings tool (2) then selecting the System (3) option and then the About (4) option. The name of the PC is located beside the Device name (5) label. Once Filopto is installed on the server, you will need to enter the name of each PC that is allowed to access Filopto.
3) Make certain that your Filopto Server firewalls have been properly configured to permit Filopto to work. The Filopto installation process will attempt to configure your Firewall automatically but due to the vast number of available firewalls and their endless possible configurations, you may be required to manually configure your firewall before Filopto is able to function properly. (See Firewall and Proxy settings in this help file for additional information.)
4) Some Anti-virus/Malware programs are know to incorrectly identify software as containing virus and will block their installation or operations. We recommend that you turn off any third party anti-virus software before proceeding with the installation of Filopto.
Filopto programs, libraries and executable adheres to the Microsoft Authenticode security standard. Filopto uses the International Comodo Code Signing certificate to secure and deliver virus free Filopto setup and update programs. Microsoft Operating System will automatically validate the signed files before install and use by the users. If they have been compromised Windows will display a message identifying that the security certificate has been tampered with and is no longer secure.
If running an anti-virus software on the server make certain to exclude the Filopto.fdb database or severe performance issue will arise.
