No option to Create a company

Posted on by 60

I'm trying to create a new company in GP 9.0 Utilities but there is no option to create a new company in the Additional Tasks window, drop down list.  There are four options in the dropdown: Register, Remove SOP, Update, and Synchronize.  From my research, this is the only place to create a new company.  Why isn't this option included in the dropdown?

    Hi Danny,

    I would recommend upgrading to a supported version of GP as 9 has not been supported very almost 2 years now.

    Thank you Maria.  That solved it.  I appreciate the quick response.

    Yes.  Typically on Version 9 when going through the installation you would mark the 'Client' install option from the CD and install that on the Workstations.  And you would mark the 'Client/Server' install option from the CD on the Server.  You need that 'Server' install to create a new company.  So yes you want to run Utilities on the Server and hopefully that was installed properly and gives you the option.

    I am running the utilities from a client install.   I do have access to the server install, is this where i need to be?

    Thanks

    Are you running Utilities from a Client install or a Server install?  I think they were different on GP9 and that changed from GP10 forward and it's all the same now.
