Networking   (shared data)

See below for information about each of the following methods:

• Server
• Remote Access
• Cloud Host

Our software can be installed to allow users on multiple machines
to share a central collection of data.

Networking allows you to share data at one location or across multiple different locations.

Note:	Only one (1) machine can access the central collection at a given time.
	(Users can not access the data simultaneously.)
	(One user at a time.)

After purchasing and entering your unlock code (for unlimited use),
your license permits you to network our software at one (1) location.

These functions are to be performed, by the user, with the
original program (Serial Number & Unlock Code).

Properly copied, it will not require an unlock code.

Can't Find The .EXE File?

Your computer may be set to hide the ".EXE" portion of the file name.
If you cannot locate the .EXE file when trying to use our software,
try changing the file display method for the program folder:

From the "View" pull-down menu, choose "Details".
The window should now display the files in a multi-column format.
One of the columns is titled "Type",
and only one (1) of the files in the window will say "Application" in the "Type" column.
This is the file you use to create a shortcut or start the program.
