How does sharing a database work?
To share a database, you will first need one license per computer. You can use our volume license order page to order multiple licenses. Then you can install the software on your network computers. The next step is to place a database in a folder on your network. The users on your network can then open this database from there, and all view the database at the same time. A reference for your network administrator on how to do this can be found here Besides viewing the database, it can also be edited. There are some limitations however to who may edit the database. • Viewing the shared collection can be done from all computers. • Editing the database can be done by one user at a time. Editing includes changing loan information of books, DVDs etc. Our programs have a built in mechanism to make sure only one person at a time may edit. If someone already has opened the collection in edit-mode the following user will only be able to view, not edit.
