    A Network Server/Network Client installation will allow sharing of most EMu client files. The Network Server must first be installed on a network drive. Each PC should then have the Network Client installed and when asked reference the previously installed Network Server. Subsequent installations of KE EMu need only update the Network Server component. This is the recommended style of set-up for medium to large institutions.
    If your PC does not have access to a suitable network file server then you should perform a Standalone installation. For this style of installation a subsequent EMu client upgrade will require the client to be re-installed on the PC.
