GMG Documentation

Note: Please install GMG ColorServer with full administrator rights. While standard Windows user rights are sufficient to run the application, administrator privileges may be required to access network drives.

GMG ColorServer can be installed in different setups, depending on your environment:

  • Single-computer setup: Server and Client are installed on the same workstation – recommended for evaluation, smaller environments, or local use.
  • Distributed setup: The Server runs on a central machine (for example in your production environment), and one or more Clients are installed on user workstations for remote access and administration.

During installation, you can select which product components to install. If you are not sure which setup suits you best, see our setup recommendations for guidance.
