Downloading BR
In order to download the latest version of the BR executable, go to the ADS FTP site. There, among other directories, you may see directories such as 420l, 403k, 430a, etc. These denote different version of BR. For example, 403k means BR version 4.03k where 4 is the version major, 03 is the version minor, and k is the revision name. If you are a new user, you may want to avoid the beta releases, as these may contain bugs, which have not yet been fixed.
To locate the latest version, simply open the directory with the highest major/minor/letter combination.
Once you are in the appropriate directory of the ADS FTP site, you will see directories such as linux, mac , and win. Open the directory that corresponds to your operating system.
There are two models according to which BR can be set up: Standalone or Client/Server. The Standalone version runs only on Windows and will be explained in this section.
If you are a Linux or Mac user, please, refer to the Client/Server category.
BR Serial File
The BRSerial.dat file contains your Business Rules! license information. This file is normally sent to you by ADS after purchasing a BR license. In order for BR to run, this file is required in the same directory as your BR executable. You can easily check the license information contained in this file by using CheckSerial.exe.
