I run Financial Navigator on a network. I am trying to install a software update, but I don't know whether to select "full install" or "workstation install." Please help.

That depends upon where your Financial Navigator program currently resides. It's easy to find out where it is.
  1. Start Financial Navigator from one of your workstations as you normally do.
  2. From the main FN menu, select Help | About Financial Navigator. Be sure to select Help from the menu, not from the Tool bar.
  3. Look for the line on the About Financial Navigator page that begins FNWin Exe
  4. If this line says something like "c:\fn\finwin80.exe", then FN is running on the local workstation. If it says something like "t:\fn\fnwin80.exe", then FN is running on the network server.

If FN is currently running on the network server:

You don't need to do anything on the workstations. Just perform a "full install" of the update on the server and you're done.

Note: if this is the first installation of FN rather than an upgrade, you will also need to run a "workstation install" on each workstation. This is not needed on upgrades, however.)

If FN is running on the individual workstations:

You need to do a "full install" of the update on each workstation.
