INSTALLING SHIPRUSH ON THE SERVER
System Requirements:
ShipRush should be installed on the least busy server on the network. We do NOT recommend installing ShipRush on the SQL server.
Ideally the server where ShipRush is installed should have Solid State drives for performance reasons.
Start by downloading the latest installation file directly from the ShipRush Server.

Be sure to be logged in as a user with full admin rights to the PC or Server the install is being performed on.
For Windows Server 2008 and later, right click the ShipRush_v10_UPS icon and select ‘Run As Administrator’. This step is required even when you are already logged in as an Administrator.
