  1. Launch the Q-Pulse client to confirm you can log in to the system.
Did you receive an error when trying to log in? If services have not been started or you've missed an upgrade on either the server or database then this could prevent you from logging in. Try confirming that the Q-Pulse Server service is running and that you've completed the upgrade on the application server and database.

Once Q-Pulse is working you are ready to deploy the client. The easiest method is using ClickOnce.
