Client/Server Use ?

[mfarzan]

Hi,

 

Can TNI be used in a client/server mode, where the data files are stored in a server share and the program files installed in more than 1 computer ?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Try it - I think you can use sharenames in the data path. I may try that also!!

 

Yep - justed tested and it works fine! However, there might be a license issue (I'm just running the trial on my desktop).

The program's data directory can be shared and program can be set to use UNC path via "Options - Storage", but at this point the program does not have protection from sharing violation, so it is not recommended that different users make inventory of the same computers (or edit the same computer's custom information) at the same time. However, they should be able to perform other operations like inventorying different subnets, viewing information and running reports without problems. We are going to improve this feature in the following versions.

As for the licensing, the program can be installed on any number of computers with the same license key and use the same data share, provided that you don't exceed the number of scanned nodes that is stated in the license.
