This page and the pages called from it in the electronic version give you full instructions for installing and starting Openlaw.
The essentials are given below for a Case called Openlaw Demo.
The Installation procedure must be run once on every computer that is to run Openlaw.
An Openlaw "Case" is a free-standing set of files in its own folder and sub-folders comprising:
| • | an executable program file |
| • | some database files |
| • | and other Openlaw components. |
In the example given here, the executable file is called Openlaw Demo.
No data or program files are included in the Install. Either copy the Demo Case, Create a New Case or use the Case supplied by your bureau.
Once Install has run on a computer, any Openlaw Case can be run on it.
