1.3. Setting up Fanurio for the first time

When you start Fanurio for the first time on a computer, it opens the setup guide to help you get started.

Because the application can run in three different modes (standalone, as a server or as a client that connects to a server), it will first try to determine how you will be using it by asking whether you have a license key or not.

Fanurio Setup Guide - License Registration

If this is the first time you are using the application, you will probably want to evaluate it. Select the option A) to evaluate the standalone version anonymously for 15 days without a license key. Select the option B) if you need to connect to a server and option C) if you have a license key for either the standalone or the server version.

If you want to evaluate the application (A) or if you have a license key (C), the setup guide will then help you create a new repository for your data or use an existing one.

  • If you don't have a repository, leave the "Yes, I'm a new user and I don't have one" option selected. Fanurio will help you create a new repository and configure your business. Once you create the repository, you can change your business settings from Business » My Business Details.

  • If you already have a repository, select "No, I already have one". This option makes sense if you share the repository through Dropbox so you can use it on multiple computers.

  • If you need to set up a server, there's a separate guide that explains the process in more detail.

Once the setup is complete, you may want to review the application settings like timer reminders, language, or theme.
