The Collaborative Edition of ProjectTrack uses a network peer-to-peer model which allows more than one user to access the database simultaneously. For the Collaborative Edition to run you need the following:

• All users need to be connected to the same area network
• The network speed should be at least of 53 Mb. The program will behave too slowly in 10 Mb. networks.
• The database needs to be stored in a network drive accessible to all the users.
• In order to access the database, each user will need to "map" the network drive where the database is stored.

To install ProjectTrack Collaborative Edition, follow these steps:

• The ProjectTrack administrator needs to install the application in a network drive. That drive needs to be "mapped" before the installation starts.
• Start the installation program (you can download it here)
• When the installation program asks for the folder where ProjectTrack will be installed, make sure to enter the location in the network drive where you want it to be (e.g. K:\ProjectTrack)
• Finish the installation and make sure you go over the First Run Wizard to initialize ProjectTrack's configuration.
• From another user's computer, make sure the user has access to the network folder where the application was installed.
• Open Explorer and go to the network folder where ProjectTrack was installed.
• Double click the application ClientInstall.Exe
• Follow the installation program directions.
