Turn on and configure the Version Cue Server

To use a Version Cue Server, you’ll need to turn it on and configure initial settings. Once you’ve configured initial settings, you can configure additional Version Cue Server settings in the Version Cue preferences and specify advanced server settings (such as enabling SSL) in Version Cue Server Administration.

For a video on setting up the Version Cue server, see www.adobe.com/go/lrvid4038_vc.

  1. Do either of the following:

    • (Windows) Open the Control Panel, double-click Adobe Version Cue CS4, and then click Start.

    • (Mac OS) Open System Preferences, click the Adobe Version Cue CS4 icon, and then click Start.

    Version Cue starts Version Cue Server Administration and displays the Initial Configuration window in the default web browser. It may take a few moments for Version Cue Server Administration to start.

  2. In the Initial Configuration window, specify a system administrator password in the Password box. Specify the same password in the Verify Password box.
    Note: Be sure to note the password you specify. If you forget the system administrator password, you’ll need to reinstall the Version Cue Server.
  3. Specify a name for the server in the Server Name box.
  4. Choose an option from the Server Visibility menu:

    • To prevent other users in your network from seeing the server, choose Private. Private Version Cue Servers can be accessed only from your local computer.

    • To make the server visible to other users in your network, choose Visible To Others. (You must configure the server to be visible to grant others access to projects on the server.)

    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.
  5. Click Save & Continue.
  6. Specify the Login name (system by default) and password, and then click Log In. You can then create a project, define users, and specify other server settings.

After you configure Version Cue Server, use Adobe Drive to connect to the server. Connecting via Adobe Drive lets you view the server as a mounted drive.
