A timeSensor® LEGAL multi-user system consists of a macOS or Windows-based server with a 4D database and installed timeSensor software, as well as a number of workstation computers that access the database server with the help of a generic timeSensor client (Rich Client).
The more workstations access the server, the more powerful the server must be. In the download area you will find our white paper with the recommended server configurations, which are based on the size of the law firm. For small law firms, Apple's Mac Mini, although no longer brand new, is particularly robust and economical. Using this device greatly simplifies configuration and maintenance.
For Windows, we recommend Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019 as the operating system. It is important that a separate administrator account for the database is created for the operation of timeSensor LEGAL under Windows. This must be a real user account with administrator rights (and not a system account). Furthermore, the autostart must be carried out with this account.
Below you will find the two setup guides for the installation under macOS and Windows:
For Windows, we generally recommend that the installation is carried out by timeSensor AG via remote maintenance. This is offered by timeSensor AG as a service.
