Multiple clients/1 PC/Windows 7

[Laurence Milton-Goodhead]

Hi

Until now I have been using FM as a single stand alone product, I now need to be able to share my FM database on a PC (windows 7) with multiple users on the same PC. Without having to log off and close down the app for each user to allow the next user to connect. Before I purchase new licenses, i would like to know if this is actually possible and what should I buy?, - I need approx 5 users on 1 PC, all connected to the same database. I do not want to have to buy 5 computers in the office just for this purpose.

Hope someone can help.

Many thanks

Laurence

Does each user login to the single machine using their own account?

Hi,

Yes, precisely.

I have also tried to install a copy of FM by selecting "install only for this User" (as opposed to "anybody on this machine") during installation, Hoping that i could then install a new separate version for each user, however Windows 7 automatically launches the "repair/modify" setup process if there is already a copy on the machine.
