Creating a new multiuser project

When a new project is created, the checkbox Multiuser project has to be activated. Enter or select the server for the multiuser project in field project server. If a server is selected, the checkbox Multiuser project is automatically activated.

If no server is selected in field project server, the project is created on the local PC. Automatically a local project copy is also created here.

Prerequisites:

Project database server (zendbsrv.exe): must be started on the server and the client
firewall setup: you must unblock the programs zendbsrv.exe and sqlservr.exe.
Required ports: 1103, 1433 (for SQL server) and 1434 (for SQL browser)
The name resolution in the network must work
Reverse lookup must deliver the same computer name both at the server and at the client

Attention

Workspaces do not support multiple users because they are station-specific. So the project hierarchy can be defined differently on different computers. The users have to communicate, so that the hierarchy is the same on all stations.
