3. Copy and paste the renamed ProgramData/Veculim folder, into ProgramData/Veculim & Manually set permissions on the folder for Everyone on the network, with Read/Write rights.
4. Add a second shortcut to Veculimf.exe on the server and the workstations and make sure the target paths are as follow:
Shortcut # 2 = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Veculim\Veculimf.exe" Datapath=C:\ProgramData\Veculim\VeculimMechanical\Shareddata DataSet=Live (NB! VeculimMechanical will be replaced with the name on the client's server)
