Install/setup GA-Taxpro in a terminal environment

Here is a comprehensive guide for installing and setting up GA-Taxpro in a terminal environment:

1. Folder Permissions:

   • Ensure every user has full, unrestricted permissions to all folders used by GA-Taxpro.

   • The three main folders to consider are:

     • Application folder

     • Data folder (must be different from the Application folder)

     • GA_TaxProLog folder (hard-coded as "C:\GA_TaxProLog" and cannot be changed)

   • The GA_TaxProLog folder contains only technical support information, no client or user data.

2. Required Fonts:

   • Certain fonts required by the Georgia Department of Revenue must be installed.

   • GA-Taxpro provides a menu option under the Utility menu on the Main menu to install these fonts into the OS.

   • Without these fonts, property tax forms will not print correctly.

3. Folder Naming Conventions:

   • Keep the pathnames for the Application and Data folders as short as possible.

   • Avoid using hyphens, spaces, or special characters in the path names.

4. Licensing:

   • The End User License Agreement remains fully in force, regardless of infrastructure sophistication.

   • Each location using GA-Taxpro is required to have a separate license.

   • Licenses are based on the location of the users.

   • GA-Taxpro is generous and forgiving with license agreements to a reasonable extent.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure a smooth installation and setup of GA-Taxpro in a terminal environment. Remember to keep the setup simple, adhere to folder permissions and naming conventions, install required fonts, and comply with the licensing agreement.
