2. Prerequisites
If you use a Kamstrup® Radio Link Network to collect reading data, make sure to install the OMNI-
SOFT UtiliDriver® program before you start installing PcBase III. For details about how to install
OMNISOFT UtiliDriver®, please refer to the documentation for this program.
PcBase III consists of two installations; a server installation and a client installation. The server in-
stallation must take place before the client installation.
This means that the order of installation must be the following:
1. Install OMNISOFT UtiliDriver® (only relevant if you collect reading data via a Kamstrup® Radio
Link Network)
2. Install PcBase III Server
3. Install PcBase III Client
To ease the installation, make sure that you have administrator rights to the PC on which you want
to install PcBase III.
Furthermore, make sure that all Windows updates are installed. Otherwise the main installation
will not start.
If you run the following operating systems:
• Windows 8.0
• Windows 8.1
• Windows Server 2012
• Windows Server 2012 R2
You may need to install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 on the PC for the installation to succeed.
The installer will try to do this automatically as part of the prerequisite process, but a reboot may
be required.
