What is the difference between Mouse Colony and Mouse Colony Net?
Mouse Colony is a stand-alone runtime application. It will run on your computer by itself, without requiring any other software. It can be used on only one computer and cannot be accessed via a network. Mouse Colony Net is a version of Mouse Colony that requires FileMakerPro to function. It must be installed on a single computer; however, it can be accessed by up to 5 remote computers through a network. FileMakerPro must be installed in both the computer that hosts Mouse Colony Net and in the client computers that want to access it via a network connection. Although this version of Mouse Colony may seem initially more expensive due to the requirement of the separate purchase of FileMakerPro, it is significantly cheaper than buying 5 copies of the runtime version of Mouse Colony. Additionally, this network version allows the centralization of the mouse lines that a lab has, simplifying backups and eliminating the duplication of data.
