Delete Licenses

See the Licenses section for more information on how licensing works within TME.

Select Network Directory

A network directory is the location of a Server installation of TME. A network directory can be specified through the Select Network Directory dialog.

The Select Network Directory dialog can be activated from the Administration menu by choosing Select network directory...   Activation requires an Administrative login.

The Select Network Directory is available only for network installations. It allows the administrator to specify a different shared network folder for a client installation of TME. This is useful if the shared folder has been moved or renamed.

A valid network directory will contain a Server installation of TME.  Specifying an invalid network directory opens a TME Error dialog. Closing the error dialog returns to the Select Network Directory dialog.

Below is the Select Network Directory dialog.

Log Out

Logs out the Administrator, disabling all administrator tasks until another login is performed.
