Accessing the help with Internet Explorer on a server machine
If you try to access the help directly from a server machine, such as when using Evolve Designer on the web server itself, you may not be able to use it, due to the heightened security on server Operating Systems meaning scripting is disabled.
To enable Internet Explorer to view the Evolve help, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security and in the Custom Level Security Settings, ensure Active Scripting is Enabled.
Firefox and Google Chrome users have to enter their username and password once, but can choose to have the details remembered to avoid entering them again.
