Adding a Workstation

1. Once the new computer is hooked up and on the local network, browse the network from the new machine to the “Scott Systems” folder on the MaxxTraxx Server, typically in the local C:\ or D;\ Drive
   
2. Once inside the Scott Systems folder, open the “MaxxTraxx Pro” folder
   
3. From the MaxxTraxx Pro folder you will find a file called “mxtrxpro.exe.”
   
4. When you find this file, right click on the file to get the drop down menu, choose “Send To” and a sub menu will appear
   
5. Choose “Desktop (Create Shortcut)” from the sub menu
   
6. You can then minimize all open windows and you will see the shortcut you just created on your desktop
   
7. Right click on the icon and choose "Rename", type "MaxxTraxx" to properly rename the shortcut
8. You then need to contact Scott Systems so that we can adjust your workstation licenses. Once we have made the adjustment, the new workstation should access MaxxTraxx without problems
   

You only need to contact Scott Systems if you would like to use this new workstation concurrently with your existing workstations.  If you would just like to use a different computer occasionally, you do not need to add any additional workstation licenses
