General hardware setting
In practices, the hardware settings may be somewhere between these two configurations. It is more reliable that you have Firebird database server running on a server machine, for example, a NT server, Win 2000 server or Linux server.
Note:
If you want to run more than one copy of Media Rental in the same store sharing the same database, you need to purchase one of the multi-user licenses. If you try to run more than one copy while you have a single-user license, one of the copies will terminate itself.
