Information for installing clients and servers in the network.
Server, Client and Repository
Innovator is available server-sided for various Windows and Linux operating systems. These Innovator versions can be integrated in a heterogeneous network and operate with identical data. In the process, the interaction and storage of the individual products can be handled in an extremely variable manner.
Client interfaces are only available for Windows versions.
Innovator keeps the data in a standard online repository, which is described with an open data model so that all of a project's data can be exchanged between all systems as desired.
Installation Files
Download
Both potential purchasers and customers of Innovator can download the installation files for Innovator from the MID website.
The customer area contains all installation files from the last three Innovator versions for all supported operating systems. You can find information about the products and installation in a separate document (PDF) and in this Help.
Please read the Help topic "Installing an Update" to find out the differences between version migration (upgrade) and new release (update).
Installation Files for Client and Server using Windows
The installation files for direct or administrative installation of the client and server are available in German and English. Language selection determines the language for installation dialogs and the default interface language setting. You can use the corresponding environment variable to change the interface language at a later stage.
Installation Files for Servers using Linux
The installation files for the various Linux variations are language neutral. They can only be used to install the server. They use an installation script where you can set the interface language using the appropriate environment variable.
