For the installation and activation you will need full access to this directory from all clients. Create a directory on the server (for example D:\Hydrus) and share this directory on your LAN so that you can access it from all client computers.Here we assume that you have downloaded the latest installation program of HYDRUS 1.xx and extracted setup files to a temporary directory. Access privileges for HYDRUS users (standard users) are discussed below.
