If you are not able to complete the installation or if you have any problems, please contact support@atlas-sys.com to request information to download the Aeon Client Installer. You will be provided with a secure link pointing you to the Aeon Downloads page and credentials to use to download the client installer. The installation steps are the same as above, but you will launch the installer from an executable (.exe) file rather than by clicking the client on your desktop.

NOTE: If you are using a machine that is different from the machine you ordinarily use for Aeon, you may need to remap your machine to the Aeon network drive. Please see these instructions for guidance: Access to the Aeon Network Drive - starting at the "Map the Network Drive" heading.

Important Note for New Aeon Implementations

If you are installing the HUIT-provided package for the first time after going through training with Atlas (i.e. you are implementing Aeon for the first time), you will need to uninstall any existing Aeon instances before installing the HUIT package.  In addition, you will need to delete the registry key for the sandbox database.  This setting will override those set in DBCChooser and prevent you from connecting to your production database.

1. Open regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AtlasSystems\Aeon
3. Delete the LogonSettingsPath entry

You can verify that your database settings are correctly updated by running SQL Alias Manager.  There should be zero entries in the left panel with "user default", and one entry with "machine default".  If there are no entries with "user default" in SQL Alias Manager, then no action is needed.
