GM Snap On Server Setup

[understatedone]

Hello has anybody ever set up their own Snap On server? We have our own server and looking to save the company money from Snap On any recommendations on how to set it up would be great thanks! Have the May USB stick ready to roll just not sure what else we need

did you purchase a server from Snap on? I am not sure what your question is? Do you have a old server? The Snap On servers already come loaded with the software. Is having a Snap On server going to make your catalog any more efficient or quicker??? My experience and I do run a Server with 5 licences is NO . what is the advantage in having a server? not much. I guess if you rely on Global Disconnect then there might be a argument

No we purchased our own server to save the dealer $10k roughly over the life of the contract. Yes still have the old server running currently. Epc may run a little better with our server because it has much better specs but overall goal was just to save money for dealership in the long run. Good point on relying on global too, can't hardly make it a week without it a global connect downtime. Maybe there is a way to copy the settings from old server to our server? Don't know honestly that's what I'm trying to figure out before I get it installed
