Logging In to Local File Sets

Sometimes your aACE administrator may ask you to test a feature or review data in a local copy of the system, prior to implementing a change on the live system. Your aACE administrator will provide a link to download a zipped copy of the system to your personal computer. 

Note: When you login to a local version, aACE may display a message:

• Files cannot be shared — This warning message highlights that local sets should not be distributed to other users.
• Use the hosted version — This option message helps confirm that you want to use the local set. To access the local file set, click No (i.e. that you want to use the local file set instead of the standard, hosted file set).

To access aACE using the local file set, follow the steps for Mac or PC. 

Mac

1. Download the file set that your aACE administrator provided. 
2. Open the file set, then extract the files to your desktop (i.e. drag the file set from the Downloads folder to your desktop).
3. Open the extracted folder.
4. Double-click the aACEv6v0.fmp12 file and login as normal.

PC

1. Click the link provided by your aACE administrator.
2. At the download site, click Download. 
3. Click the downloaded zipped file (i.e. from your browser download bar).

   • Double-click the zipped folder, click Extract > Extract All, and select a download location.
