Installation of Business Administrator comes in two parts. The first part is managed by Windows Installer, which installs Business Administrator to your hard drive. The second part is when Business Administrator installs the database.

Business Administrator can be installed anywhere on you computers' hard drive you like. The database can be installed anywhere on your network so long as all computers using the database have access to it. The database should not be installed in a location that is accessible from the Internet, else your business information will be exposed to the Internet.

If there are any issues in installing Business Administrator, please do visit Installation Issues.

We recommend that you save the installation file to disk rather than run it from the link.

Notes...

Further information...

Installation note: During installation, Business Administrator will ask you for a lot of information about you and your business. Remember it is business management software and cannot do without this information.

Registration is required: You will need to register the software because you will use the Business Administrator World website. Business Administrator will do this for you, and we will not use the information for any other purpose. It is possible to run Business Administrator without registering, but only with a Full licence.

For businesses outside the UK…

Anyone is welcome to use Business Administrator so long as they have a licence to do so, and where the law, international and otherwise, allows usage of the software.

However, Business Administrator has not yet been designed to work outside of the UK, and is not likely to operate properly or to expectations.

It is unlikely to be fit for purpose, and you are advised against using it. Neither Chalestra Ltd, nor its partners, will take responsibility for any deficiencies or shortcomings, or for the software delivering unfavourable results.
