Q: Will Computer Admin or any other CG Software
run on a network?
A: Simple answer is yes. Computer Admin and all our other products
are based on the FileMaker Pro engine which can run on a network.
You can place your data files on a file server and keep the application
on a single machine and access the files remotely. Computer Admin
understands IPX/SPX TCP/IP and AppleTalk.

Q: Can I have many people access the files from
different locations?
A: Yes, you can have multiple users access the files. Place the
data files (the files with the ca2 extension) on a file server and
install the Computer Admin application on the users PC. However
the files can only be accessed by one user at a time. If one user
has the files open and another user tries to open the 2nd user will
get a warning that the files are already in use. The 2nd user need
only wait until the 1st user closes out.

Q: Can more than one user access the files simultaneously?
A: Yes. To have multiple users access the Computer Admin databases
simultaneously requires a registered copy of FileMaker Pro to be
installed on each computer needing access to the Computer Admin
files. The Computer Admin files are "Served" from one
copy of FileMaker Pro and viewed on up to ten other computers simultaneously.
To have more computers access simultaneously may require purchasing
FileMaker Server.
FileMaker Pro is sold separately and cannot be obtained from CG
Software. Visit FileMaker.com

Q: Which license do I need to purchase for multiple
users?
A: If you use Computer Admin by having one user at a time access
the files then a single user license is all you need. The single
user license is applicable for one set of data files and one user
at a time.
If you need to have multiple users access the files simultaneously
then you will need one license per user or you can purchase a site
license which covers unlimited users in a single physical location
(this covers one physical building).
Contact CG Software
for more information if you have special licensing needs.
