How can you network 2 office computers to share a single program?

I own a mechanics shop and I have 2 computers. One computer has a program that does all my estimating has parts list etc. while the other one is more for document writing etc. I want to network these 2 together so that I can access the estimation and parts programs from both computes simaltaneously. Please, serious answers only. Thanks.

How can you network 2 office computers to share a single program?kawasaki

If you are sharing the same router:

On the computer where the program resides, right click on the C drive and select "share this drive".

You should be able to see that drive on the other computer under "My Network Places".

This usually works but there are softwares that won't let the program be shared.
Depending upon what you want to do. If you want to have the capability for two people to work on the same database/program at the same time, you will need a separate program that will enable you to do that. If you just want to share the program and be able to access it from another computer, then a simple networking will do.
You may need to get in contact with the maker of that program. They probably have a network license. You cant legally run the program on both computers, unless it specifically states that you can. You would also need to contact them to see if the program can be simultaneously ran at the same time.
You can do it only it the software supports network use. You'll have to install the program on both PC but the database that your software uses will have to be shared. Both computers will have to point to the same database file. But like I mentionned earlier that's only if the software handles network use.

Contact the manufacturer

hope this helps
