Installation Instructions

There are two methods to get Bookdog working on all the computers:

1.  Obvious Method.  Forward the Standard order acknowledgement email to all users and instruct people to follow the instructions to install the License Information on their computer.

2.  Slightly More Efficient Method.  On the first computer, with the License Information installed, check the box "Make available to all user accounts on this computer."  This will create a file in the system-wide preferences:

    /Library/Preferences/com.sheepsystems.bookdog.plist

(Note that there is no tilde (~) prefix; this is not in the Home folder.)  This file contains only the License Information.  Copy this file to the same location (in the system-wide preferences) on all the other computers.  (Note: You must copy the actual file; an alias to a file on a central server will not work).
