Setting up a Network


You can install EasyInvoice on several PC's on the same network, then link all to use the same data.


This is what you will need:

  • All PC's must be on the same network and have EasyInvoice Installed.
  • One of the PC's should be the server and the EasyInvoice folder should be shared with full access to enable the other PC's to access this data.
  • You might need your IT to assist you with the sharing of the data and linking your PC's and EasyInvoice.




1.  Set Up the Server:


  • Install EasyInvoice with the "Standalone/Server" option selected on the PC where the data will be stored and made available to the rest of the PC's.
  • Follow the installation instructions here to install EasyInvoice.  Should you install EasyInvoice not in the default location, remember the location.
  • Then open EasyInvoice and set up you company, follow the steps here.
  • Now that EasyInvoice is ready to use on the server, continue to the next step to share the data.




2.  Share the Data:
