Can a second version of POS v10 be installed on a back office computer, sharing the 'company file' to run when register not in use to maintain inventory and reports? A single user QB can be used on multiple systems, but not simultaneously.
I would tell you to use a program like Go to My PC or Logmein and take control of the store computer from the back room. Your database is less likely to get corrupted because the information stays on the original computer. I use Teamviewer6. Find it at cnet.com and it's free.
Correct, typically the back office system is installed as the server, the front system as a client, and as long as only one is open it operates fine. This is called a floating license. So yes, you can use the same license on both systems as long as only one is in use.
QBooksConsulting is correct for POS. Quickbooks software though does not have the same licensing - you can't install a single user license on multiple machines - each user must have a license regardless of simultaneous usage.
