Make sure that the files SERVER.EXE and REDIR.EXE are in this directory. Make sure that these copies of REDIR and SERVER are the one currently used by the network on this machine. Run NEWNOS batch file and follow the instructions to create licensed copies of REDIR.EXE and SERVER.EXE. If the machine is not a server (i.e. if it is a workstation only), NEWNOS.BAT will issue a warning about being unable to update SERVER.EXE, and will proceed to update REDIR.EXE. Repeat this procedure on all machines on the network. If you have any difficulties, please contact Artisoft Technical Support at (520) 670-7000.
