The ideal way to use multiple licenses with your master set of data is to network all the licensed computers running the 3D software together in the main office. These may in turn be accessed directly or remotely by multiple users or inspectors. All data remains intact in your office, with no need to transfer files between computers, and your trusted inspectors or other users have full use of the 3D Inspection System software to book or schedule jobs, upload and create mobile or regular inspections, finalize and deliver inspection reports or surveys, or do anything else needed.

How does it work?
Your qualified local IT networking expert can link several workstations together at your main office, each running one license of the 3D Inspection System software, but sharing a common database and data folder stored on whichever computer is assigned to act as the server. Users may use the workstations directly in the office, or some or more workstations may be set up for inspectors or other users to use remotely from their own laptops or mobile devices as desired (Remote Desktop options are available these days for every platform). Remotely working users do not need and should not have the 3D desktop software installed directly on their own computers. This protects you from moonlighting or other misuse of your company information or licensing.

Highlights:

• All users may be granted full access to all program functions, including uploading and retrieving mobile reports, and final delivery of inspections.
• All data centrally stored prevents fragmentation of data, jobs, or forms.
• New narratives added to mobile by any inspector can be reviewed, approved, and added to update master forms used by all.
• Users may use workstations directly, or remote into them from other devices, while the database remains at your office, and without 3D desktop installed on personal devices.

With proper network setup, the 3D software doesn’t need to be installed on any remote workers’ computers directly, and there is usually no need to transfer files between regular computers. Everything remains easily organized and shared, with all master information updated and always in sync.

Licensing:
Purchase of Premier (recommended for multi-inspector firms), Standard, and Focus edition products allows networking of two computers for concurrent use. To network additional computers or workstations additional license seats are available for purchase.

Be sure to also provide your list of authorized user names to 3D Inspection Systems, whether office personnel or inspectors using the desktop software to facilitate easier support. Should someone leave your employ or your authorized users change, simply alert 3D Inspection Systems to update your authorized contact or user list. We also recommend letting us know about inspectors  using the mobile app whom are authorized to receive assistance, even though there is no extra licensing for the mobile app.

Setup and Use:
We’re happy to provide information for to you supply your networking IT to use to network your existing licenses together in this manner, or your IT is welcome to contact us directly on your behalf. Your qualified local IT may set up remote desktop access for any users working remotely from another location. Consult with your local IT regarding various options and any hardware requirements. See the next page for the technical information you or your IT will use to network the software once installed.
