The Training Company is installed side-by-side on the same server as your live company. It is used to preview the latest product build on a copy of your live Main Company database and latest Sample Company data . It can be used for the following purposes:
User Training
During Startup Wizard implementation, it enables you to make transactions to test system setup and train users without affecting the data integrity of your live system.\
Product Update Preview
It enables you to preview each new product build and make test transactions using a copy of your Main Company database and the latest Sample Company data before you install a product update.
Beta Version Preview
Sometimes during support ticket incidents, a customer is furnished with a "Beta" version of the Training Company to enable preview of a pending build prior to its public release.
Experimentation and Testing
The Training Company is ideal for experimenting with new and different settings and processes without affecting the integrity of your live system.
WARNING: Never use as a live system (for temporary use only)
Never use the Training Company as a live system. The database is subject to refresh replacement and system updates cannot be applied (removal and re-installation is required for new product builds).
NOTE: Any data entered in the Beta/Training Company cannot be saved or imported back into your live company.
Color Coding (Red Icons and Black Wallpaper)
To clearly differentiate the Training Company from your live system, the desktop and start menu icons are colored red instead of blue and the main menu wallpaper within the program panel is black instead of neutral color.
You must Uninstall and Reinstall with each new Build Version Update
The Training Company version cannot be updated. For each Build Version, you must first go to Windows > Add Remove Programs and uninstall the old Training Company version before installing a new version.
