Reconfigure an existing installation
Reconfigure an existing installation
The Creo Elements/Direct Manager Server configuration tool allows you to reconfigure an existing Manager Server installation. The configuration options that you choose while reconfiguring overwrite the values in the original installation.
The configuration tool first uninstalls the servers with the original installation and then reinstalls the servers.
The configuration tool creates a new Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager installation package which triggers sending message to all Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager users that a new version of Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager is available and requests to re-install Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager.
If changes in the File Server settings are required, do not modify the server selections of the original installation otherwise only the File Server will be re-installed.

The configuration tool is available only on the server machine.
To change the configuration of an existing Creo Elements/Direct Manager Server installation, click Start > Programs > PTC > Creo Elements Direct Manager Server > Manager Server Configuration. The Choose Components page opens:
For more information, see Choose Components and follow the instructions.

The Change Configuration option on the Start > Programs > PTC > Creo Elements Direct Manager Server > Manager Server Components > File Server Status page allows you to add items to the list of license servers, file server neighbours and file server areas but it does not allow you to change or remove an existing entry. You must use the configuration tool to make the changes to or remove items from the lists.
