Will you be using Tuition Express?

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Before setting up your Tuition Express service you are REQUIRED to review the Tuition Express Implementation Guide.

What Type of Installation?

Single Computer

If you have just one computer you’ll choose a Full Install of all necessary components.

Multiple Computers

If you have more than one computer (on a standard “peer” network) you’ll begin at the main computer (the one that will host your database) and do a Full Install. Then you’ll go to each individual workstation (the computers where you’ll use Procare) and install the Client software.

Server Based Network

For a server based network see the Advanced installation article.

Procare Data Hosting

If Procare is hosting your data you’ll receive separate instructions for installing the Procare client and VPN client software.

Procare Touch Computer

If you have a Procare Touch Computer you'll want to see the Special Instructions for Procare Touch.

Before You Begin

Log on to the computer with local “Administrator” privileges and close all programs.

Start the CD

1. Insert the Procare CD. The installation program should start on its own. If not, you may manually start the installation as follows:

   Click Start > Computer (or My Computer) > dbl-click the Procare CD > dbl-click SETUP.

2. Follow the on screen instructions clicking Next as appropriate until you reach the Quick Setup screen then choose a “role” for this computer based on how it will be used and click Next.
   1. Full Install: Choose this option for your main computer. This might be your only computer or the primary computer on your network (sometimes known as a “peer server”).
   2. Client Computer / Workstation: Network computer where you run Procare and enter information or allow families / staff to check in.

   Note: If the installation program finds an existing Procare licensing service / database on your network it will automatically select the Client install for you.

3. Enter the Installation Key number that is printed on your CD envelope. If you are installing on a Client machine this step will be skipped.

   Note: Procare will automatically attempt to download the current module license. If you are not online uncheck the box and manually enter the Module License (which also appears on your CD envelope).

4. Continue following the on screen instructions, clicking Next as appropriate.

   Note: You’ll be asked if you would like to create shortcuts for the Attendance Tracker. In most cases the answer will be No. Answer Yes, only if this computer will by used by families or staff to check in.

5. When installation is complete click Finish. If you have additional computers that will run Procare proceed with the installation on each of them as needed.

Your Next Step

Once Procare is installed you'll want to Log In for the First Time.
