Do multiple computers with this software loaded run off of the same database? Looking into this product for a small office with 3 workstations.

I just bought this new version and have not installed it yet. But with all of the previous versions I have used, one computer operates as the server (unless you have an actual server, in which case of course, it opeates as the server). The other computers on the network access the database of the server/server equivalent. That way, the database and all relevant files appear the same on all computers. I believe the current version will allow you to operate three computers from the one purchase.

I've got it installed on three pcs. Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. I didn't have any issues at all.

I don't think it would work... The product requires that software be installed on each machine. It's doubtful that the external hard drive would have the processor to run a program. I could be wrong, of course, but having used the product myself, my thought is that it won't work.

From what I understand it runs concurrently, however the warranty with the product is short. One thing that made me happy was that I purchased the component as a Christmas gift. I was able to have the warranty in my name but dormant and arranged to have it transferred and begin in my son's name on Christmas day when he received the hard drive! I hope this answers your question.

Three at any one time as I recall, but you should only be using one of the installations at any given time. I have it on my laptop and desktop.

Yes, we use it in our office with good result ... up to 8 computers can run the mirror software. Slight delay on transmitting, but acceptable

I have two of them for my servers. Both units are functioning well. I have one unit that I used to clear out some 200 disk and the unit is still working well.

I installed this card in a 2006 Dell desktop because I am using this machine as a file server and added two more hard drives to it (in addition to the on-board two SATA drives). I don't think I would want to rely on these drives for intensive database operations (I suspect this might run slower than the on-board SATA drives) but it has worked out fine for my purposes.

I am using it in 3 Windows Servers with the 2008 R2 operating system. It makes a huge difference, cutting down on the time it takes to do backups.

Im able to run it on two computers simultaneously. You should have no problem installing it on another machine.

I guess it depends on how much workspace you want. I have two laptops and a printer on and it causes no issue

I purchased the PC download. You can reuse it on new computers as long as you like the software. I don't think the key will support multiple computers active at the same time unless you buy addditional seats. But it will be limited to PC or Mac version which ever you purchase. And there will come a day when Adobe won't support updates for operating systems developed in the future.

If formatted for FAT32 initially, it should go between systems without difficulty. On one of my LaCie units I formatted only a small section of it for PC just to enable me to take images back & forth between systems.

No but you can put your database on the flash drive to use on different machines.
