Registering a Laserfiche Server

The first step in administering a Laserfiche Server or a repository is registering the desired Laserfiche Server in the Laserfiche Web Administration Console. Once a Laserfiche Server has been registered, the Laserfiche Server and all of its repositories will be available to users with appropriate rights from the Administration Console, though you will need to register it again on any other computers where you will use the Administration Console. Once a Laserfiche Server has been registered, the Laserfiche Server and all of its repositories will be available to users with appropriate rights from any browser that can connect to your Web Administration Console site.

Note: A Laserfiche Server only needs to be registered once per computer. After a Laserfiche Server has been registered, it will remain listed in the Web Administration Console until it is unregistered.
