But unlike hero lab, realmswork's licenses is by user, but not by computer, but without the cloud, you wont be able to share campaigns between computers (well not easily, supposedly there is a way to export and reimport). obviously im not an employee, am i remembering correctly rob? |

also, our email that we received (assuming we're all howlers here) told us that we could only install on one computer until the cloud. I assume this is for that very reason that you cant just copy "files" across?

I'll play around and submit bug reports and status reports about how I'm breaking my own stuff. It'll be interesting. |

@Thrantor's idea will work. The issue is that it will only work for a single user. The limitation is that GMs cannot use the technique to share material with *PLAYERS*. That will require our cloud. This is the issue that arose during Kickstarter.
Basically, you would perform a backup of the database to Dropbox from Computer1. Then you do a restore of the database from Dropbox onto Computer2. Then you reverse the process. It's clunky, but it would work until server syncing is online. |

i just dont know how the database installation works. If for example the database was installed in c:\database (I dont know where it goes), and I were to copy that onto disk, put it in another computer and copy all the files onto the other computers local drive and make c:\database on the second computer exactly equal to the c:\database on the first, would i be able to start Realm Works on the second computer, or would that not work would i have to do a reindex every time i launched realmsworks? |

If you truly share a database, you will run into all sorts of problems. The database is designed with a fundamental assumption that it won't be directly shared. So you could potentially do what you're trying to do and it would blow up badly for you - read: data loss. That's not something we currently plan on changing at any time in the foreseeable future, since there are some major technical issues involved. |

Makes sense. As an aside, can we control the local drive the database is installed on?
