      Acctivate Mobile Web Service

      You must have the Microsoft Web Server component, also known as Internet Information Services (IIS) installed and running on the Windows Server that you would like to install Acctivate Mobile WMS. Please refer to the "Prerequisites" note above.

      The Acctivate Mobile Web Service is typically installed on the main Windows Server that is also running Acctivate and Microsoft SQL Server.  The Full Install package will create a web service that processes Acctivate transactions from the Mobile devices.

      If you choose to install the mobile web service on a computer that isn't the server, you will need to make sure that you also install the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server 18.4. You can get that here (be sure to match OS bitness for the download) 

      1. Download and execute the Acctivate Mobile Full Install package from https://acctivate.com/downloads/
      2. You will be prompted for location of the Acctivate software.  Acctivate will typically be located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Acctivate\ on a Windows Server.
      3. Accept the terms of the Acctivate License then click Next.
      4. Choose a Web Server Virtual Directory for Acctivate Mobile WMS.  The default is AcctHandheld, but this can be changed.  The Virtual Directory will appear in the URL for the web service (e.g., http://192.168.1.123/AcctHandheld/ or http://ServerName/AcctHandheld/).
      5. Click Install to begin the installation and configuration of the Acctivate Mobile WMS web service.
      6. The Acctivate Web Service should now be accessible at http://localhost/AcctHandheld/ in the web browser.  It may take longer than usual to load the Acctivate Web Service status page for the first time.
