Multiple Users: Flexible options for using NewViews NV2
Q: How can more than one person work on NewViews NV2
at the same time?
A: The multi-user capability in NewViews NV2 allows an unlimited number of users to collaborate on the same company database file at the same time. All users must be networked and must each have their own New Views NV2 license.
Multi-user capability enables more than one person to work on a company file at one time increasing collaboration and productivity. It ensures that all users are working on the most up-to-date data and allows you to set individual user access levels.
Q: When do I need an additional license?
A: Our standard license agreement requires separate NewViews NV2 licenses for each person who uses NewViews NV2 software. You need to get additional licenses when additional people need to use NewViews NV2 on their computers. You also need an additional license for the “server” computer that is used to share the company database file.
Q: What are some common situations in which businesses
need to buy additional licenses?
A: The most common scenario is when more than one person in the business needs to use NewViews NV2, even if only for certain specific tasks. For example, a business owner may want to have a copy of NewViews NV2 solely for running reports, doing payroll, and printing checks, but his office manager needs to use NewViews NV2 to enter sales orders and receipts. Accordingly, the business needs three licenses – one for each of the users and one for the server.
Q: What if I print out reports from my NewViews NV2 software for another person? Would I need to get an additional license for this person?
A: If another person is solely reviewing printed reports that you generate yourself in NewViews NV2, then they don't need to get their own NewViews NV2 license. However, if they install and/or use NewViews NV2, then they will need a separate license.
Q: Can I run NewViews NV2 both at the office and at home on a single-user license or do I need to purchase separate licenses for both computers?
A: You can install NewViews NV2 on both your work and home computers, but each computer requires a separate license. Also, only one person at a time can access the company file with one single-user license.
Q: How do I purchase additional licenses outside of what is
available on the site?
A: You can configure your NewViews 2 to suit however many users you need. If you need additional licenses, we recommend that you call 1-800-380-9361 and order from our sales consultants. We will ensure that you are set up with the proper number of licenses and that you receive the discount for multi-users.
If you already have a copy of New Views 2, you can also add additional licenses. To do so we recommend that you call 1-800-380-9361 and order from our sales consultants.
Q: Is there a discount if I purchase an additional user or
license?
A: Yes, to receive this discount, you may order from our website or by calling our sales consultants at
1-800-380-9361.
If you already have a copy of NewViews NV2, you can add additional licenses.
Q: Can I run multiple companies from one copy of
NewViews NV2?
A: Yes, you can run as many companies as you want from one copy of NewViews NV2. Of course, you'll still need a separate license for each user of NewViews NV2 if you have multiple users.
Q: What is the maximum number of simultaneous users for
a NewViews NV2 company database file?
A: The maximum number of simultaneous users (users accessing the file at the same time) for NewViews NV2 is unlimited.
Q: Can I install a copy of NewViews NV2 on my network
server? Do I need an additional license?
A: Yes, you do need a separate license if you install NewViews NV2 on a server for other users to access.
If you install NewViews NV2 on your server, you still must have a license for every user of the program.

A: You can access additional help on multiple users either:
