Exclusive Mode

Collect! operates in 2 modes:

"Shared" mode is intended for networked, multi- user installations.

"Exclusive" mode is for:

1. Single user installations. You will receive an "access denied" message if you are not licensed for more than 1 user and attempt to use "Shared" mode.

2. Multi-user installations performing off-line Maintenance.

3. Multi-user installations performing any kind of software update/upgrade.

4. Multi-user installations exporting all or parts of their database utilizing \File\ Upgrade Database option.

For any of these exclusive mode required processes, you will be prompted if you attempt them while signed in "Shared" and the process will not proceed until you have logged out and back in again in "Exclusive" mode.
