Multiple Instances

This feature gives you the ability to have many SI+ company files open at the same time, making it easier to multitask.

Network Installation

If you're operating on a network and need more than one computer to access the program simultaneously, you will need to purchase a multi-user license. The number of users supported depends on the version purchased, with support for up to 150 users.

Basic Setup for Multi-User Access

•If all client machines (workstations/frontends) can see the server, no additional configuration is needed.

•The client machines will automatically detect and access the program as long as the SI+ BackEnd is running on the server.

•There’s no need to manually share folders like with other programs.

•Follow the installation instructions from the installation chapter to complete the setup.

Client/Server Configuration

In this configuration, the file server contains the SI+ Database Server Manager components and stores the company database file that other workstations/frontends can access. The SI+ application (frontend) must be installed on each computer that will be used to perform operations and access data from the file server.

Terminal Server Configuration

In a terminal server configuration, the terminal server contains the SI+ database components, stores the company file, and runs the SI+ application. Terminal users access the program directly on the terminal server.

•Database files are stored in the smartitplus_database folder.

Multiple Instances

The Multiple Instances feature allows you to open several SI+ company files at once, making it easier to multitask and manage multiple accounts or projects simultaneously.
