Installable ComponentsInstallable ComponentsThe installation process can produce a large range of configurations from the four basic components on the CD. The system administrator can choose from the simplest install (all components go onto the one machine) through to installing components on different machines around a network.
There are three program components (TQ Client, TQ Admin and TQ Server) and one resource component (containing the data for the Typequick products shipped on the CD).
TQ Client
The TQ Client program is used by anyone wanting to view a
Typequick product such as Typequick Professional or Typequick for Students.
TQ Admin
The TQ Admin program is used by people responsible for a
group of students to organise the results produced by students as they work
their way through the product material.
TQ Server
The TQ Server program sits in the background providing
access to the database with information about students and results. TQ Server
controls the licensing, so most sites will have just one copy of TQ Server
installed and running. Those sites that are not networked but have a requirement
to run the Typequick application on a number of machines will need to have TQ
Server installed on each machine, and a separate licence for each such machine.
Check the documentation for TQ
Server for the operating system you are using.
Resource Component
The resource component is a mixture of text, audio files
and images which contain the content of the various products such as Typequick Professional and Typequick for Students.
The TQ Client program accesses these resources to create the lessons. The TQ
Admin program accesses the resources just so that it is aware of what has been
installed. The TQ Server program also periodically accesses the resources in order to keep track of which products are
installed.
Suggested Installation Methods for Workstations
The installation process for the Typequick server is the same regardless of
how the workstation component is deployed. Some suggestions are provided below
for workstation setups:
Client
and Resource Components on the Workstations - Minimum network traffic with
maximum workstation hard drive requirements
All
Components on the Server - Maximum network traffic with zero workstation
hard drive requirements

and Terminal Server Configurations
