A server is a complex of programs which is supposed to synchronize and automatically process information. In other words its servers as a hardware for performing software tasks.

Setting is always done on behalf of the administrator. They often used a separate machine for server equipment but if there is no such a computer it is possible to install a server to the administrators PC.
- The initial settings may be left as by default.
- Product key activation (the key is related to the equipment, it is impossible to use it on other PC; the activation goes online).
- Main computer creation. One 1 computer can be the main. In case if it is the only computer it should be the main anyway.
- Enter port (Just as the key it should be unique. It cannot be left as by default).
