  • Networks
  • Can Antiquity be run over a network of computers in a single office?
    Yes. Antiquity can be run over a wired or wireless network in a single office (a wired network is preferred for speed and security. We would not recommend the use of wireless networks where there is lots of network congestion or the signal is not 'very good' or 'excellent').

  • Can Antiquity be run over a network of computers in multiple offices?
    The simple answer is yes, but it can get a bit complicated depending on the number of remote users, how your network is configured and frequency of access.

    Single Remote User:
    If you just want occasional remote access, e.g. from home, then we would recommend the use of a 'remote access' product like LogMeIn or TeamViewer, both of which have free versions available (there are also alternatives such as VNC, GoToMyPC, Windows Remote Desktop and others). Most of these solutions allow you to log in to your office computer from any other computer with internet access via a secure web-based system. Once logged in, your home keyboard, mouse and screen act as if they're connected to your office PC, so you can use all your applications, including Antiquity, email etc.

    Multiple Remote Users (e.g. a business with two offices):
    There are a variety of options when setting up Antiquity to be accessed by multiple remote computers. Due to the complexity of such networks and the range of options available, it makes no sense to explain them all here. Please contact us for more details.

  • Where is Antiquity data stored?
    All data is stored on the 'host' computer running Antiquity.

    On a single user system, the data files are on the computer running Antiquity.
    On a small 'peer-to-peer' network (without a dedicated server), the data files are on the 'host' computer.
    On a network with a dedicated server, the data files are on the server.

    In all cases, the data files are all in a single folder, so it's very easy to make a backup.
