Question:
Can multiple users access the same database, and at the same time?
Answer:
If you want multiple users to access the same database, make sure the database is located on a shared network drive, and change the Home Directory of each user to this location.
If you want multiple users to access the same database at the same time, this request has further requirements:
- The users need to be able to work with the software at the same time. This is possible through a multi user network license or multiple standalone licenses.
- The database should be a connected database, with the database located on a shared network drive.
- The Home Directory must be set to the local machine of each user, with the path directed to the connected database which is on the network location.
