There is no password upon loading. </p> <p> Do you have any advice for me? </p> 2007-12-17T16:09:17-08:00 http://www.trigram.com/forums/viewthread/7/ http://www.trigram.com/forums/viewthread/7/#When:19:47:09Z <p>This is a question we often get.&nbsp; I’ll post from an email below… </p> <p> 1) Can we just pay the difference from our Single Computer license to upgrade to the Small Network license? So we could pay the extra $300 to upgrade? (We purchased the Single Computer recently). </p> <p> Yes, we can work that out, pro-rate the difference. <br /> </p> <p> <br /> 2) How does switching from a Single to a Small Network version of Acubase work? We have some data set up in our current one and would like to port it over. Is that difficult? </p> <p> We can help you set it up.&nbsp; The easiest way would be if you bought FileMaker Pro (currently the regular version, 9.0:&nbsp; <a href="https://store.filemaker.com/product/viewfamily/family/FMP">https://store.filemaker.com/product/viewfamily/family/FMP</a>).&nbsp; You need to buy one copy for each machine on which you wish to use the program. Then we’ll give you a new license number so you can make AcuBase a network version, convert your current AcuBase file to a FileMaker file, and set it up on whichever computer you consider the ‘main’ (server) computer. </p> <p> The way the network version runs is that you will open the AcuBase file in FileMaker on the server machine.&nbsp; To open it on other machines, open FileMaker, and go to File/Open Remote and open it through the network. The AcuBase file only needs to be (open) on one machine, and the others see it through FileMaker. <br /> <br /> Backup-wise, it’s the same file structure as your current version: it backs up to a Backup folder on the server machine (inside the AcuBase Pro directory where the other AcuBase files are located), and you need to move that to an off-site backup every so often for further data security. </p> 2007-12-03T19:47:09-08:00
