Install Server

The Koble Systems software is installed in two steps: A) installing the data and EBMS Server software on the main network or cloud server and B) installing the client software on a computer or tablet.

Please note that the same EBMS installation CD or electronically delivered software can be used to upgrade EBMS or data to a newer version, create new companies, or install EBMS on additional workstations.
