How do I install ARM on a network?

back

GDM does not offer a network version of ARM. ARM should be installed on each registered user's computer. Every user running ARM must have his or her own separate ARM license from GDM.

GDM recognizes situations when it is necessary to install ARM on additional computers at a university or government research facility, for the purpose of data entry by a research technician or secretary. A Software License Extension is available that must be completed and signed by the ARM licensee and a GDM representative. This Software License Extension also includes the provision to install ARM for temporary employees, graduate students and research assistants. Public license extension (pdf) to view and print this form. Please send the completed and signed form to Fran Gylling at Gylling Data Management, 405 Martin Blvd., Brookings, SD 57006, USA. You may also fax the form to +1.605.693.4180.

For corporate or private researchers GDM also offers a Software License Extension defining conditions when a temporary employee can install ARM on a computer.  Private license extension (pdf) to view and print this form. Please send the completed and signed form to Fran Gylling at Gylling Data Management, 405 Martin Blvd., Brookings, SD 57006, USA. You may also fax the form to +1.605.693.4180.

Shared ARM study files (protocols, trials, graphs, etc.) may be stored on a network in a shared DATA folder. This is typically the level of sharing that is needed, and often storage on a network drive is also backed up automatically to provide additional data security.

In the following example, the shared data folder for ARM is "2006DATA" on the P: drive. All ARM users may then change their default data path in the File Options tab to P:\2006DATA, and select the “Set as default” checkbox. (Select Tools - Options on ARM menu bar, and then click the File tab.) Enter the network drive and folder name (complete path) on the Study Data line.

When User 1 is currently using an ARM study in the shared network folder, User 2 can open the study as Read-Only.
