In re-reading your question I noticed you said &quot;ACT 2006 for Workgroups&quot;. &nbsp;I assumed you meant: &nbsp;ACT! by Sage Premium for Workgroups 2006. &nbsp;There is a &quot;standard&quot; version called ACT! by Sage 2006.<br />
<br />
The standard version uses MSDE instead of the full-blown instance of MS SQL Server. &nbsp;The standard version (MSDE) has a 10 user limit, a 2GB storage limit, and a few functionality restrictions.<br />
<br />
The rest of my comments above are interchangeable.<br />

Matt,

In re-reading your question I noticed you said "ACT 2006 for Workgroups".  I assumed you meant:  ACT! by Sage Premium for Workgroups 2006.  There is a "standard" version called ACT! by Sage 2006.

The standard version uses MSDE instead of the full-blown instance of MS SQL Server.  The standard version (MSDE) has a 10 user limit, a 2GB storage limit, and a few functionality restrictions.

The rest of my comments above are interchangeable.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a client who purchased two licenses of Act 2006 for Workgroups and wants to host the database on an existing SQL server which is on their main file server. &nbsp;The 2 licenses were installed on two client PC's and then they took one of the licensed CD's and went to the server and did an install. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have no idea how they are supposed to get their Act! 2006 database or start a new, on the SQL server. &nbsp;Sage is of little help. &nbsp;So my questions are:<br />
<br />
How do I start the Act database on SQL?<br />
<br />
Do I need a 3rd license for the server, despite no on ever sitting there at it to use Act?<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help!<br />
