Salon Maid Software HOW TO NETWORK?

Regarding using the software on two or more PCs…

If you want these computers to be communicating with each other in a way that they will use the same data for inventory, customers, invoices... you will need to make a network between them and place a  COPY of the database file of the software ( SM228.mdb, located in C:\POS\) to a network location available to all computers for reading and writing. So in other words you need to share this folder containing the database between the computers in question, do not make a shared/mapped drive. This location's path you need to enter in setup of the program under "Networking". Also keep in mind that you only need to share the database file, not the whole software, the software cannot be shared on a server. Our software is designed (to protect the integrity of the licensing) to run individually on each PC as it needs to be installed and remain installed on each individual PC. The original database file needs to remain installed as a default in its original location on each PC (so regardless of the shared database file and its location, none of the default database files should be removed or deleted).

For this you probably will need to hire a network professional if you are not familiar with networking two or more computers or you can do this yourself if you are familiar with networking. Either way you decide to go, if you are going to use the software on two or more computers you will need more activation licenses for the other computers. These additional licenses you can get as a purchase of a simple download of the product on our web site.
