How do I obtain a Globalyzer account?
After you register on lingoport.com, a Lingoport representative will contact you with instructions on how to download and install a trial version of the Globalyzer Workbench software. Tutorial videos will also be provided to help you learn Globalyzer's features as quickly as possible.
When you purchase a Globalyzer license, we will enable your account, allowing you to add Users to your team (dependent on your licensing).
If you have purchased a Globalyzer Team Server license, we provide clear instructions on installing the server components, adding and administering User accounts, and any additional support needed to make sure you’re quickly up and running.
How do I install the Globalyzer Client?
To install the Globalyzer Client, you first need a Globalyzer account (see previous FAQ question). Once you have an account, you log into the Globalyzer Server and at the bottom of your home page there is a link to download the Globalyzer Client.
The Globalyzer Client can be installed as an Eclipse Plug-in or it can be installed as a standalone Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) application. We call this the Globalyzer Workbench, as in addition to Globalyzer's many internationalization features, the Globalyzer Workbench also has Eclipse's support for integrating with source control, programming language plug-ins and any other plug-in to assist with your development.
Please see installation for complete Globalyzer Client download/installation instructions.
What are the server requirements for hosting a Globalyzer Team Server?
The standard IT setup for a virtual server is 4 GB memory, 160 GB disk space, and 2 CPUs. If anticipating heavy use, may need up to 8 GB memory, 500 GB disk space, and 4 CPUs. The following table lists the operating system and 3rd party tools required for installation of the Globalyzer Server.
It should also run successfully on later software versions, but please contact us if you have any problems.
Client Security configurations may change the Globalyzer Workbench database settings
Some configurations of the operating system have a password manager which interferes with the software password or other configuration settings. In order to run Globalyzer successfully, the user may have to disable the system security.
For example, on Lenovo Windows 7, the database settings can be overwritten due to the Password Manager. Executing C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Client Security Solution\css_pwmgr_toggle.exe will resolve this problem.
Depending on the OS and the client security settings, similar actions may be needed for other systems.
