Multiple Computers

[James_jamie]

Hi,

I'm new to all this and have set up the system on the front, main computer. My problem is everything has to be done through that particular computer. So I have to enter all stock/invoices through it as well as serve customers. Is there a way we can get the system to run on the office computer at the same time so I can be entering invoices out the back whilst the employees serve the customers without having to frequently stop?? This will save so much time.

Thanks.

Jamie

Hi @James_jamie 

You can buy an additional lane licence whereby it can be set up on another computer but that is at an extra cost.  I am not sure if there is any other way around it, others may know of something that would work.

There is MYOB Kounta which is a cloud based product which you can have multiple users which has a monthly fee, but if you have already paid for Retail Manager the cost would be a factor.  Kounta is a newer, more modern version of retail software.

HI Jamie,

You can network a second computer to your first (known as the primary) which will allow you to carry out transactions and input invoices. If you have RetailManager on a subscription basis you can get an additional licence at no extra cost, or if you've purchased the software outright you can get an additional licence for a one-off fee.
