memoQ server deployment tool

These are the help pages for the memoQ Server Deployment Administration program.

These pages are meant for systems administrators and IT managers who are responsible for setting up and maintaining a memoQ server system.

Using this program, you can install and manage memoQ server, memoQweb, Customer Portal, Content connector, and the legacy CAL server product.

These pages supersede the Installing and managing memoQ server manual. In case of differences, the help pages are authentic.

Installing memoQ server requires more knowledge and experience than installing a desktop program such as memoQ itself.

Do not start making changes to your system unless you are completely aware of what you are doing.

As part of product support, memoQ Ltd. offers to install your copy of memoQ server on your computer\. We recommend that you stop making changes to your system immediately, and ask for our help:

  • if anything remains unclear after carefully reading these pages, or
  • if your system behaves in an unexpected way when you start installing memoQ server.

    If you do not manage to install memoQ server at the first attempt: Ask for help from memoQ support immediately. It will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Although memoQ support will make every effort to install memoQ server on your computer while leaving all other programs and settings intact, other applications on the computer may interfere with the installation. memoQ Ltd. cannot take responsibility for the proper operation of other applications on your server.

Upgrade note: If you are already running an earlier version of memoQ server, you need to upgrade your existing copy. Do not remove the existing copy of memoQ server version from your computer before running the setup program of memoQ server 8.1. To learn how to upgrade memoQ server, see the memoQ server upgrade guide, available from the memoq.com website.
