If you have a standard Windows XP installation, IIS will not be installed. A web server is needed to run Share360, so you have two options:

• Install IIS
• Use the Cybozu Web Server

If you choose to install IIS, follow these instructions

1) Deactivate "Simple File Sharing"

• Go to Start menu --> Accessories --> Windows Explorer.
• From the Menu Bar, select [Tool] --> [Folder Options].
• Click View tag.
• Remove the check in the box next to [Use simple file sharing (recommended)]

2) Share scripts files

• At the C:\Inetput\Scripts folder, right-click [Properties].
• Click the Web Sharing tab.
• Move the check mark to Share this folder.
• Edit Alias screen will be displayed.
• At Application Permissions, check Executable includes scripts.

3) Change permissions of Set Scripts Directory

• At the C:\Inetput\Scripts folder, right-click [Properties].
• Click the [Security] tab.
• Click the [Add] button.
• At the Group and User Names column, enter [everyone] and then click [ok].
• Check [Full Control] for Everyone's permissions.

4) Permit IIS Anonymous Access

• Go to Start Menu --> Setting --> Administration Tools --> Internet Information Service.
• Under Web Site, click Open Default Web site.
• Right-click on Scripts and select [Properties].
• Click the [Directory Security] tab.
• Click [Edit] button for Anonymous Access and Authentication Control.
• Check Anonymous Access.

The US versions lists dates in mm/dd/yyyy format, and times in am/pm format, whereas the European Time/Date format version uses dd/mm/yyyy and 24-hour time format.

You can choose to use either version, and it is easy to migrate from one to the other at any time.

If you install multiple Share360 products/applications in the same directory, please use the same version and the same number of users for all products/applications. However, the exact same application cannot be installed in the same directory, even with the same version and the same number of users.

If you use different versions or applications with a different number of users, please use different directories. In this situation, the applications installed in different directories cannot be synchronized or merged.

Share360 does not support data replication, synchronization, or mirroring for several servers running Share360.

You can change servers, the server OS, and Web servers running Share360 without informing Cybozu. Also, you don't need to take additional steps or pay any extra fees. Share360 can be used on Windows98/NT/2000/XP or UNIX (Linux/FreeBSD).

Share360 can be used over any TCP/IP based network, even over the Internet.

In addition, if you set up the remote access server on the Internet, allowing you to access the intranet server running Share360, you can access it from outside your office.

However, please be aware of the following issues before you decide to use Share360 in the above situations:

• Security When you set up the server running Share360 on the Internet, or access the internal server running Share360 from outside a LAN through remote access servers, you are always exposing yourself to a security risk. Others may sneak into the server to browse or steal your proprietary information.
• Accordingly, we do not recommend or support the use of Share360 over the Internet or through a remote access server. Cybozu will not be responsible for any damages or loss caused by a non-LAN-based use of Share360 under any circumstances. If you are interested in using Share360 outside of the LAN, we recommend you talk to system consultants or network security companies to develop the safest system environment you can have.
• Lower Performance Share360 has been designed to be used mainly over the LAN, not outside of it. Accordingly, when you use or access Share360 from outside of the LAN, you may see its performance dropping and its response speed getting slower.

The following is the list of server OS's that Share360 currently supports:

Windows

• Windows XP Professional
• Windows 2000 Professional
• Windows 2000 Server
• Windows NT Workstation 4.0
• Windows NT Server 4.0
• Windows 98

UNIX

• Linux 2.x
• FreeBSD

We do not recommend you use Windows 98 as server OS because Windows 98 was not developed to be used continuously. If you use Share360 for a small number of users, use it infrequently, or turn off Windows 98 every day, it can be used. However, we cannot guarantee stable operation of Share360. If you currently use Windows 98, we advise you to operate Share360 in another server OS, such as Windows 2000, Windows NT, or UNIX for better performance and more stability.

Although Windows 98 was not developed to be used continuously, if you use Office for a small number of users, use it infrequently, or turn off Windows 98 every day, Share360 should work fine on Windows 98.

However, we cannot guarantee a stable operation of Office. You may experience slow speed or server freezes. If you currently use Windows 98, we advise you to operate Share360 on another server OS, such as Windows 2000, Windows NT, or UNIX for better performance and more stability.

Share360 can be accessed from a Macintosh if the server and client PC are connected over the TCP/IP network.

If you are not able to access Share360 from a Macintosh, the problem may be that the server name that is used for a Windows-specific naming system may be used for accessing purposes. In accessing from a Macintosh, please enter the IP address of the server on which Share360 is installed.

For example, if the IP address of the server running Share360 is 10.0.0.1, use the following to access Share360:

• http://10.0.0.1/scripts/s360/office.exe? (if the server is Windows-based)
• http://10.0.0.1/cgi-bin/s360/office.cgi? (if the server is Linux-based)

If all PCs are able to use the DNS name solution system, all PCs can be accessed by the same URL address. For details, please contact your network administrator.

We recommend Netscape Navigator as a browser on a Macintosh. We have confirmed that Internet Explorer for Macintosh Version sometimes does not work properly.

We offer Share360 Sync for Palm OS as a line product.

This product can also be used on a free 60-day trial basis. You can download it with the Share360 Suite. For more details, please refer the theTry Now section of our Web site.

Share360 Sync for Palm OS can synchronize with Office 4, but it cannot be synchronized with previous versions of Office version (i.e., Office 2 or 3).

Currently, specific Palm devices can be used for synchronization with Share360. If you have any requests regarding your Palm device, please let us know by emailing einquiry@cybozu.com

Share360 is built upon the concept that collaboration is optimized with small groups of users. Information should be shared unit by unit in big companies, or as whole units in mid and small sized companies.

We believe that larger systems are actually less effective that smaller units, as discussions are more tempered, information is more vulnerable, and administration is much more difficult.

In fact, this is exactly the problem our customers have been facing. Share360 offers a new groupware concept, offering more streamlined applications accessible by groups within groups for targeted and specific information sharing and collaboration.
