Set Version Cue Server preferences



You can configure many Version Cue Server settings in Version Cue preferences, such as the amount of RAM available to Version Cue. To configure advanced settings, such as enabling SSL, changing the name of the Version Cue Server or resetting user locks, use Version Cue Server Administration.

Access Version Cue Server preferences

  1. Do one of the following to access Version Cue preferences:

    • Open the Control Panel and double-click Adobe Version Cue CS4 (Windows) or click Adobe Version Cue CS4 in System Preferences (Mac OS).

    • In Windows, double-click the Version Cue icon  in the system tray at the lower right of the screen.

    • In Mac OS, click the Version Cue icon  in the menu bar at the top of the screen, and choose Version Cue CS4 Preferences from the menu.
      Note: The Version Cue icon is hidden by default. To make it visible, select Show Version Cue CS4 Tray Icon (Windows) or Show Version Cue CS4 Status In The Menu Bar (Mac OS) in Version Cue preferences.
  2. Click the Settings tab in Adobe Version Cue CS4 preferences.

Make the Version Cue Server visible

  1. Open Version Cue preferences.
  2. To grant others access to shared Version Cue projects on the server, choose Visible To Others from the Server Visibility menu. To hide the Version Cue Server from other users, choose Private.
    Note: If Version Cue is installed on a Windows computer that uses a firewall and you want to share the server with others, make sure that TCP ports 3703 and 5353 are left open. If you've enabled SSL for the Version Cue Server, also leave port 3704 open. If Version Cue CS3 is installed on the same computer, also leave port 51000 open (and 51001 if you’ve enabled SSL). For instructions, see Windows Help.
  3. Click Apply.

Specify a workgroup size

  1. Open Version Cue preferences.
  2. From the Workgroup Size menu, choose the number of people who use the Version Cue Server on a typical day. This setting controls how the Version Cue Server handles the potential load.
  3. Click Apply.

Specify RAM

The default amount of allocated RAM (128 MB) is sufficient for workgroups of fewer than 10 people and projects with fewer than 1000 assets. Allocate at least 256 MB of RAM for larger workgroups and projects with up to 1000 assets. Allocate at least 512 MB of RAM if you work with more than 1000 assets per project or more than 50 projects, regardless of workgroup size.

  1. Open Version Cue preferences.
  2. In the Memory Usage box, enter the amount of RAM that you want to make available to Version Cue (the default is 128 MB).
  3. Click Apply.

Keep the Version Cue icon visible

  1. Open Version Cue preferences.
  2. Select Show Server Tray Icon (Windows) or Show Server Status In Menu Bar (Mac OS) to keep the Version Cue icon visible.
  3. Click Apply.

Turn Version Cue on when the computer starts

  1. Open Version Cue preferences.
  2. Select Turn On Server When The Computer Starts.
  3. Click Apply.

Change the location of the Data folder

The Data folder contains files that maintain the integrity of Version Cue projects, file versions, and metadata. You can change the location of the Data folder; however, you cannot move it to a network volume. If you move the Data folder to an external disk in Mac OS, deselect Ignore File Permissions in the disk’s Get Info dialog box.

Important: Stop the Version Cue Server before you change the folder location. Do not attempt to move this folder manually or edit any of the files in the Version Cue Data folder.
  1. Turn off (stop) the Version Cue Server.
  2. Open Version Cue preferences.
  3. Click the Locations tab in Adobe Version Cue CS4 preferences.
  4. Click the Choose button next to the current Data folder location, and select a new location for the folder. Choose a location on the computer (including external disks) where the Version Cue Server is installed.
  5. Click OK.
