EMS Web Client Installation Instructions

Introduction
This document lists the steps you must take to install the EMS Web Client. The EMS Web Client is an
optional component that extends functionality currently available within the EMS desktop client to the
web.
Note: The EMS Web Client is included with your existing licensing agreement. An active EMS user
account is required to log into the EMS Web Client. Users logging into the EMS Web Client will count
against the total EMS user count that your organization is registered for.
IMPORTANT: With the EMS desktop client, processing is distributed across all client workstations.
When planning your server infrastructure, please keep in mind that processing for all EMS Web Client
sessions is concentrated on the web server. Hardware and CPU requirements should be taken into
account to address scalability demands. System requirements can be found on our website.

IMPORTANT: Please see the What’s New document for important information regarding the Web
Client. Existing versions of the Web Client are not compatible with this release.

Customer Support

\\[ServerName]\inetpub\wwwroot\EMSWebClient\Export).

Starting the EMS Web Client
After following the steps above, verify your EMS Web Client installation by opening a browser and

http://[ServerName]/EMSWebClient/ (replace [ServerName] with the name of your web server)
The first time you launch the EMS Web Client, it may take a few extra moments for the website to display.
