Question about PT Premium Accounting 2005 with multiple users Gregg Hill 02-05-2007

Hello!

Is Peachtree an application that can be run in multi-user mode using this
package: Peachtree Premium Accounting 2005 (box has a part number of
PPA2005RT)? If so, would I just need to buy another identical package, or
does it require a special multi-user version of licensing?

Here is why I ask. I am a network consultant who recently picked up a client
that uses Peachtree Premium Accounting 2005. I have no experience with
Peachtree. This client previously had a peer-to-peer network of XP stations
(two XP Pro and one XP Home) and they are now on a domain using Microsoft
Small Business Server 2003 R2 as their server. The Peachtree program and
database are installed on the server. For their plumbing business, they have
a dispatching package called Electronic Service Control (ESC) from Coastal
Computer Corporation. This package integrates with PT via the ESC Peachtree
Server application, and it is capable of automatically populating PT with
data entered into ESC. The caveat is that PT and ESC must be installed on
the same computer (the server) in order for that integration to work, and
***PT must be left running*** alongside the ESC Peachtree Server
application.

If I leave PT running on the server so that it will integrate with ESC, and
any user opens PT on a workstation, PT pops an error stating that the serial
number is already in use. I would like to buy another Peachtree Premium
Accounting 2005 package and install it on the server so the serial numbers
are different, but I do not know if that will satisfy PT for multi-user
mode, or if it requires a special network version or network license mode.

Does anyone have any ideas how to have Peachtree Premium Accounting 2005
(box has a part number of PPA2005RT) running on the SBS 2003 R2 server and
open it on a workstation without the above error?

Thank you for your help!

It would seem that you have only a single license.

You might try calling Peachtree to purchase another PPA2005 license, but because
your PPA2005 version is two years old, they most likely will suggest that you
upgrade to PPA2007, at additional cost. Otherwise try eBay for either another
single user PPA2005 for your workstation, or perhaps a multi-user PPA2005 to
update to five users.

There will be a solution out there somewhere.

Ted,

Thank you for the response. I was beginning to think the only thing in here
was Viagra ads!

They do have a single license, but what I do not know is if they can just
buy another identical package and have those two work, or if it needs a
network version of the application or a network or multi-user license.

I already found a good price for the same package currently in use
(single-license package)..

Assuming they were to buy another identical single-license package (with its
own serial number), do you know if that would allow them to leave PT open on
the server with a company open and then open the new serial number package
from a workstation? Or is there an actual requirement of a multi-user
license?

Hi Gregg

I don't have personal experience, but if my memory still serves me, Peachtree
has advertised that if you only need to facilitate two users, you acquire two
single user packages, and the two licenses will allow two accesses to the same
data files. If you need three or more accesses, then that seems to be the price
cross-over point where it would be beneficial to acquire a "value pack"
multi-user license allowing up to five user accesses.

To be sure, double-check with Peachtree sales as to their claims in this regard.

Well, that would be too cool. Thanks for the tip! I'll try to give them a
shout tomorrow.
