How
do I install and maintain C.O. Finder on a shared drive for several users?
C.O.
Finder! Plus+ will run stand alone without having to connect to your
server. However, the software will need to be registered and updated
by each user if you have purchased updates. A new registration key
will be sent to each user at each update interval. However, system
administrators can keep the files updated on a shared drive which will
automatically update the desktops.
