Separate individual ACT owners synchronizing

[smersal]

I have ACT 2009 installed on my computer.  I am hiring a sales rep and he already owns ACT 2009.  Can I synchronize with him?  Can he be a User as far as my Sync and Remote Database is concerned? I registered my ACT under my name and he had registered his copy of ACT under his name.  How does this affect Licenses?  I am confused regarding the difference between a licens and a user.  Thanks.

First, an ACT! sale has a license attached to it, and more can be added.  A license contains a number of users.  So with a 5 user license, you'll get one code that will allow the definition of 5 users in your database.

In your scenario, you each have a one user license, which is OK.  However, you cannot add another user, which also prevents you from creating a remote database, which prevents you two from syncing.

Hope this helps, if you have anymore questions, email me...

You would need to add his license to your database. Then you can add him as a user and sync to him.
