AudBase Server
AudBase is a flexible solution that can be used over a network so multiple users can access the same data file. The AudBase Server contains all the features of the standard version of AudBase but also allows you to run the program in a client-server environment. Therefore, if you install the AudBase Server, you do not have to install the standalone version of AudBase.
AudBase Server integrates a database server engine called 4D Server which is a product of 4D Inc. (www.4d.com). AudBase Server is cross-platform, which means you can install the server on either a Windows or Macintosh and it will easily communicate with clients on both operating systems. Prior to using AudBase Server, you must first obtain and install the Runtime Server License from 4D along with AudBase licenses from Sienna Software Inc (www.SiennaSoftwareInc.com). The 4D Runtime Server License comes with two concurrent client licenses. You may install clients on as many machines as you wish, but the number of clients that can be logged in at the same time depends on the number of licenses you have. If you wish to have more than two clients logged in at the same time you should purchase additional concurrent client licenses from 4D and Sienna Software
The following topics will help you install and use Audbase Server:
The installation and configuration of the server should be performed by a network administrator who can set-up the proper folder privileges for the AudBase installation. Keep in mind that a user who has administrator privileges for a machine or a network is not necessarily the same person as the AudBase administrator.
